Hi, I just tried to install CentOS 5.1. After choosing what packages to install the system hangs. A dialog tells me to wait several minutes for the process to complete, but after half an hour still nothing happens. Any ideas what this could be? Cheers, Ulf
Hello, try to create a new VM with a completely new .hdd, then in the Configuration Editor disable floppy, sound and in the Options->Advanced tab disable Acceleration and Intel VT-x support. And in this new VM, please, try to install the OS again. Best regards, Alicia.
Unfortunately the VM is running so slow, I can't really work with that. The steps I completed with full acceleration after three minutes aren't complete after almost three hours. Will support for CentOS be included in the next update for Parallels? Disabling floppy and sound lets me go further, but after a few minutes the installer quits with an error message, that the integrity of one package could not be checked. After restarting the VM the system doesn't start up.
Hello, could you please specify your host OS, Parallels build and provide me with detailed configuration of Mac and the VM? Best regards, Alicia.
I'm running Parallels 3.0 Build 5162 on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.1 (all available updates installed). My Mac is an iMac 24" (iMac7,1) with an Intel Core2Duo 2.4 GHz, 2 GB RAM (2 * 1 GB DDRII 667 MHz), a 320 GB hard disk and the original Apple MightyMouse and Keyboard connected. My second screen is an Apple Cinema HD Display 23". I created the VM with the default settings for Red Hat Linux, only changed Sound and Floppy to inactive. If you need any further information please contact me again.
I have the same issue I was thinking of replacing my FC8 VM with a CentOS 5.1 VM. Today I tried to install from the DVD ISO with the default settings and get a kernel dump as soon as the installer starts. 10.5.1 MBP 2.33 with 4G RAM Build 5584 I can take a screenshot if Parallels are interested.
Crash after installation Not sure if this is related but I have what sounds like a very similar problem with CentOS 5.1 (and also AsteriskNow Beta6 disk as well). Installation proceeds completely, however I get a kernel panic when the system tries to boot for the first time.. see attached image. Having VT-x on or off makes no difference. This is exactly the behaviour I get on the current beta of Parallels server as well. Host OS version Mac OS 10.5.2 (all patches) Guest OS version CentOS 5.1 i386 version Host computer MacBook with 4Gb Ram Parallels Desktop version - 5584
Me Too!!! Ok, so a me too post isn't the best way to start, but if someone can spot the commonality it _might_ help. I'm running 10.5.2 on a rev 2 macbook (core duo) with 2gig ram. Parallels build 5160, and Centos 5.1 (2.6.18-53-18) When I first did my install I gave the guest OS 1024M ram, and it installed fine, but failed to boot. It would start booting, kernel panic, and reboot ad-infinitum. Lowering the ram to 512M allowed it to boot, but shortly afterwards one of my cpu's would peg (activity monitor says it's parallels), and the guest OS would hang. Right now Centos IS running under Parallels, but with networking disabled (Parallels doesn't seem to recognize my SMC usb-ethernet, I'm pretty sure it DID yesterday!). any clues? -nigel
CentOS 5.1 doesn´t boot If got the same error as jstrat (see the attachment). System: 10.5.2 with latest updates Parallels Desktop 3.0 Build 5584 CentOS 5.1 i386 Is it possible to modify kernel argument or something to boot??? Kind regards, Carsten
Centos 5.1 doesn´t boot - solution Hi, the OS boots with the kernel parameter agp=off Kind regards, Carsten
