Hi!

After reinstall Parallels on kernel 2.6.20.3 and 2.6.20.4 module hypervisor cannot be loaded:

FATAL: Error inserting hypervisor (/lib/modules/2.6.20.4/kernel/drivers/misc/parallels/hypervisor.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
Can not load hypervisor module.
Parallels Workstation drivers were successfully configured
and compiled but cannot be started (insmod command failed).
Run 'dmesg' command for more information.

dmesg shows:

hypervisor: Unknown symbol paravirt_ops

Any ideas?

dbox,

This is the known issue with 2.4.20 kernels. No workarounds are available to the moment. We're working on providing a fix to it...
 
Problem solved. Kernel must be compiled without Paravirtualization support.

PARAVIRT [=n] in kernel config.

You must recompile the kernel

cd /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.20[kernel_subversion]

Edit file .config and find CONFIG_PARAVIRT
Hash this line

make
make modules_install
make install
reboot

Thats all :)
