Build 3106 + Mac Pro + BootCamp = BSOD

Have been trying to get these new betas to work with my 100gb NTFS bootcamp partition, with no success.

Here is a quick breakdown of this system.

Dual 2.66 ghz Mac pro
150 gb MAC Partition on Drive 1
100 gb NTFS partition on Drive 1 with Windows XP Pro installed
2gb RAM

Whenever I try to launch the bootcamp partition, it prompts for the parallels profile, but then crashes within a couple of seconds. It I retry it in 'safe' mode, it seems to stop on the MUP.SYS file.

Has anyone with a similar setup been able to make this work successfully? Any other suggestions that I may have overlooked?

Same problem here.
I have a 2.66 Mac Pro too. 32GB FAT 32 with Win XP on Drive 1 (working Bootcamp config).
I get a bluescreen sortly after the Parallels profile is selected, after about a half a second of the WindowsXP loading screen with the moving blue bar.
Mine also gets to MUP.SYS if I do a safe mode reboot.
I have tried a Repair Install within Parallels, which will make Parallels work fine, but then I can't dual boot - I get exactly the same error booting using bootcamp.
Looking at this board, there are aat least a half dozen people reporting the same problem.

EDIT:

The Bluescreen error is a 7B, i.e.:

0x7B. Inaccessible boot device

Which is interesting. In my macchine Drive 1 is a stock Seagate 250GB. I wonder what the other users with the error are booting off? I also have two other drives installed, but Parallels gives me a different error if I ty to boot off anything besides my first disk.
