    I have upgraded to Lion and wish to create a 10.6 partition so I can still use Quicken 2006 (needs Rosetta). Using parallels on the machine upgraded to Lion, I select "Create new virtual machine", insert the SnowLeopard disk and the process appears to start. I get the start-up frame with the MS-DOS like command lines and then I get a message (I apologize, I am not in front of the machine now) stating something about must be Leopard or SnowLeopard. Is anyone else seeing this?

    Well, I tried it on a 10.6 box and got the same error. Apparently the virtual machine can only have 10.5 Server or 10.6 Server installed as guest OSs. Not sure why that is. Sure is a bummer. I was hoping to use this to run old "Rosetta" software. If anyone knows a work-around, please let me know.
