    FreeBSD VM no longer boots on PRL 26.2.1

    Hi, After upgrading to Parallels Desktop version 26.2.1 (57371), on an iMac M3, my FreeBSD 15.0 VM no longer boots. It crashes on boot with "panic: unhandled external data abort". See screenshot below. Notes: The crash occurs both when booting on the installed OS and the installation ISO image...

    FreeBSD guest VM panic - handle_el1h_sync

    I had a FreeBSD 14 VM in my guest list, and I recently noticed that it panics on boot. It didn't do this in the past, so perhaps it's some sort of regression? I attempted a FreeBSD 15 intstall, and it panics on boot in the same way.

    PSA: Version 26.2.0 (57363) on Apple Silicon Breaks Input on "Other OS" VMs

    recently upgraded my instance of Parallels to version 26.2.0 (57363) and instantly regretted it. I have a FreeBSD 14.2 virtual machine configured as "Other" OS that started kernel panicking on every boot. The worst part is, I've heard that this is usually resolved by updating the operating...

    FreeBSD on Parallels - Requested Option

    I'm using Version Version 26.1.2 (57293) But disappointingly, it doesn't include FreeBSD as an option for a VM, only Linux. Is there any chance it might be added? Robert

    Possible Regression in 26.0.1 (57243)

    I have a FreeBSD VM that worked fine before the upgrade to the latest version. I am not sure this is the primary issue, but I see this in the boot log: ahci0: ACHI v1.10 with 6 3Gbps ports, Port Multiplier not supported nvme0: temperature threshold not supported I am able to boot the VM in...

    FreeBSD tools and icon

    Please, it would be appropriate to provide "Parallels Tools" also for FreeBSD, which now runs very well, in version 13.2, on Parallels (here in ARM version in my macBook pro M3 pro) and first provide a suitable BSD icon for configuration, to avoid using an anonymous "other" icon. thank you!

    UEFI resolution on FreeBSD

    Hello all I have a FreeBSD VM that I've installed as 'Other' for the OS choice. It's working fine for my needs but annoyingly I can't get a resolution other than 1024x768. In the FreeBSD boot prompt you can type `gop list` to list the resolutions that I am guessing UEFI is telling BSD what...

    prl_convert is missing for arm64 on a recent install under Apple ARM64

    Hey!! I am trying to convert a VM and the wizard fails to do so, so I went to command line just to find out prl_convert is missing for my architecture (M2, actually no arm version). See: Calling the command returns the weird illegal instruction: (22:54:eksffa)~% /Applications/Parallels\...

    FreeBSD mouse not working

    I have installed multiple versions of FreeBSD. No matter what I've done the mouse will not work. The pointer just sits there. I checked in settings and the settings are correct. I'm at a loss as to what to do now. Any ideas?

    VM on MacBook M1

    hi, I switched to M1 and I'm trying to play all my Virtual machines here too. I have already installed and configured Windows 11 and Linux Debian (from 10 to 12) ARM. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 13 ARM, but I had some problems with ARM64: any advice? Then I would also like to have the old...

    FreeBSD 13: cannot start X (Gnome)?

    hi, I installed the FreeBSD 13 distribution from scratch on Parallels 17 for Mac. The installation apparently went well, but Gnome doesn't start. I followed this guide. There seems to be problems with GDM or DBUS and the error "Cannot rum in framebuffer mode. Please, specify busIDs." I put the...

    Please add a FreeBSD option as it does work on Apple Silicon

    FreeBSD 13 snapshots and 14 snapshots now work correctly on Parallels on Apple Silicon (tested 3 November 2021). Please add a "FreeBSD" option. Right now I am installing with Other Linux and the generic Other does not allow one to add disks so you can't do an install.

    Parallels 15 - FreeBSD 12.1p3 - X Window full screen not possible

    Since upgrading to Parallels 15 on a 2018 Mac mini I can no longer use FreeBSD 12.1 with X-Window in full screen but am restricted to 1400x1050 despite previously having 1920x1200. FreeBSD was installed as a BIOS and not an EFI installation. The issue seems to be with the Parallels VESA BIOS...

    FreeBSD 12.1 panics during boot from ISO

    Hi, I have some issues with installing FreeBSD 12.1 (amd64) from the official ISO images into a Parallels VM. I tried all kinds of ISO images (dvd, cd for both x86 and amd64), but no matter which image I choose, it always stops with an error message from the boot loader. panic...

    how can I install a VM from a "usb disk image"?

    I'm sure this is going to be obvious in hindsight, but how can I connect a usb image (not a physical disk or thumb drive) to a VM to do an installation? Specifically http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/12.1/FreeBSD-12.1-RELEASE-amd64-mini-memstick.img as the ISO version causes...

    Parallels Tools for Solaris or FreeBSD?

    hi all, IMHO it would be very desirable a full support of Solaris And FreeBSD with Parallels Tools. I successfully installed and configured in Parallels 14.x both Solaris 11.4 And FreeBSD 12 and now I feel the lack of support of Parallels Tools and Coherence, like in Windows, Debian or Ubuntu...
