Me 2000!I already posted about this. Can't boot into BC. PDM fine. 3188
Zenweb, did you try anything I, or anyone else, suggested? Just saying you have issues without saying if you have/will tr(ied)(y) anything is not useful to the rest out there.
 
I've had the very same problem on two Boot Camp installs. I tried nicholaspwojtowicz's first solution and all that did was create a 3rd config that came up with a missing or bad hal.dll file. I have no idea why cleaning out Tiger's caches would fix a boot camp error, but I tried that too. No change at all. I tried rebaser's idea which did allow me to boot up in boot camp, but every time I would run the PDM I'd have to go back and re-fix hal.dll to use Boot Camp again. It's not a memory problem, all memory tests pass.

It's something in Parallels as with my last reformat I started using VmWare for the Boot Camp partition only and I've not had an issue. I find it very interesting that VmWare uses the same h/w configuration as Boot Camp but Parallels cannot. The problem seems to stem from the swap around of the boot files.
