Kernel Panic with 3.0: invalid frame pointer into com.parallels.kext.vmmain

Hi,

Evaluating the 3.0 release #4128, I have just experienced two kernel panics (and thus crash of MacOSX ...) when just starting my XP VM (basically when the BIOS shows its infos).

I have a MacBook Pro 2.33 with 3G of RAM and 10.4.9. FYI I never experienced such crash during my eval of the previous release (#3188) with the same XP VM.

Here is the Apple tech data:

Hope we will see a fix very soon as I can "survive" a Parallels crash but not a crash of my OS. I can provide more infos about the XP VM if needed.

Kernel Panic with 3.0 Exact the same error

I have same machine and spec MBP 2.33 3GB Ram, and I had about 4 Kernel Panic in the past 3 days.

I have ran Apple Hardware Check and cleanly reinstalled Parallels Build 4128. It still happens.

Once when I try to start the VM
Once when I try to Login
Once when I return from sleep
Once when I return from screen saver.

Is there any quick fix for this problem? Or is this a known issue?

I use my MBP for visual studio development, and I dont have a single game installed on the Windows XP SP2 VM, and I have not enabled DirectX in the VM config.
 
I think this might be related to Hide Task Bar option in Coherence Mode. I have the option turned off when Kernel panic start to happen, I have since turned it back on (ie show task bar), kernel panic has not happened yet.

Thank you for your post. We will investigate this problem.

2me7486 can you provide Apple crash log please

please find in the attachment the kernel panic log from my previous 3 kernel panic with parallels version 3 build 4128.

I am running MacBook Pro 2.33 17" 3GB RAM 160GB harddrive Guest OS is windows xp sp2 with all the latest patches applied volume license. the Guest is running in virtual hdd image 36GB, it is a image upgraded from version 2.5. the mac os x is version 10.4.9.

i have disabled directX option and running coherence mode, no game installed, very clean windows installation, just got visual studio running on it. no anti virus, no firewall.

hope this help you with your debugging.

I'm getting the same kernel panics and sent 2 messages to support without any reply. Have you gotten a reply to this problem and how to fix it?
 
No word, nothing. But after I enabled windows task bar (i.e. not using the Coherence option of hiding the windows task bar), i have not had this problem.
 
I have gotten this kpanic several times the last couple of days. I will post a crash log next time it happens but here are some conditions are shared among each of the 6 or so kpanics:

(build 4128)
Windows Vista
MBP 2.33, 2GB RAM
fresh install (2 weeks) of 10.4.9, bare bones installs

-VM already running all day with the laptop plugged in to AC
-Laptop closed and put to sleep, woken running off battery
-Switching to a new wireless network upon awake
-guaranteed kernel panic after 5 mins
 
Same thing

I'm also getting this KP when I start my VM. I do not have my taskbar hidden, so I don't think its that.

I'm running a 2.16 MBP, 2 GB RAM, 10.4.10, XP w/SP2
