    I can see Parallels is doing their best to answer people's questions!! ;-(

    Was this a Windows installation, or linux? I've had this exact same problem on my Ubuntu 12.04 installation. Basically, ever time there's a kernel update it screws up the Parallels installation, and it hangs. However, if I remember which kernel version I used, and choose that as the one I boot into, Parallels works just fine!

    I sure wish Parallels would come up with an updater of some sort that checks for kernel updates, and then fixes the system when loading.

    Hope that helped with your problem.
