Getting unknown symbols upon insmod/modprobe after running parallels-config. Is there a certain kernel version that is needed for 2.2? 2.1 Ran ok on the system previously, with some minor stability issues.

Please post output of dmesg here.
 
dmesg output

Here is my dmesg output:

[30731] parallels Hypervisor 2.2-2050 exited.
[31539] Device /dev/hypervisor registered with 10.62
[31539] parallels Hypervisor 2.2-2050 initialized.
vm_main: Unknown symbol init_module
vm_main: Unknown symbol cleanup_module
 
Fixed

Well I encountered the same problem of being unable to locate the hypervisor and vm_main modules on a system that was running 2.6.17 in addition to the 2.6.15 one. I started looking around and saw that the modules were indeed there. By chance I thought maybe if I did

su -

instead of just

su

that it would be able to "see" the modules. And indeed it did. Allowed parallels-config to work properly on my machine and also on my wife's. There should probably be a notice to use su - or log in directly as root (don't use regular su) to run parallels-config. Works great now.
 
.
The "-" after the su means that the user's environment variables, such as "path" are carried through to the root user login. It's worth remembering.
