G4U - 2.1=OK, 2.2beta2=ERR

Trying to use the G4U program to bring over a drive image from the real world into Parallels.

Using version 2.1 works OK, but trying to use version 2.2 will not even boot.

For testing, you can freely download both here:

This boots just fine on VirtualPC 7.02 over on my G4, if that is any help. Probably not.

Thanks!

 

bump - any news on support for this?

 

We already fixed this. It will be included into next public build.

 

it's back! same issue with newest release with the same message as listed before.

Bummer...

 

Well, I could compile the kernel with networking support under parallels but I couldnt get g4u to compile. But I did find this nifty menu driven g4u system that seems to work under parallels (i'm restoring an image right now as I type this). Check it out if you need to restore from a g4u system onto a Parallels image.

Will work in next public release.
