List of all VM that do not work with 3036
- Thread starter aderium
- Start date
Can someone from Parallels please post a current list of all operating systems that you use when testing? I assume you guys test most of the win98 and up Windows variants and maybe even a Linux distro but what others are part of your normal testing procedure before you release your latest builds?
A variant of that questions is also, what are the officially supported guest OSes?
I was pretty surprised to try out my FreeBSD 6.1 VM and have it not work. While I understand this is a beta, I sort of assumed that you had a test machine with just about all of the OSes out there and that something like this would have been in the notes of this build. A sticky post in this forum with the current list of tested/known working guest OSes would be great.
Thanks for all the hard work - it's amazing how fast this product is improving!

Really, because I didn't spot it anywhere at http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/faq/
If I missed it please let me know or point me at another URL that I may have missed.
Thanks.

auratus,
Don't knock yourself out mate.
I took the thirty seconds to find it for you already.

Gentoo Linux (unpatched kernel 2.6.18) also works fine.

I don't know if it was just because it was late or I'm going blind but I somehow missed that - thanks for the link.
So, can someone from Parallels confirm that you test this full list before any builds are released.
After reviewing it the FreeBSD supported versions need a looking at in my opinion. 6.1 has been out for a while now and 6.2 is about to be released. Further, there are derivative projects that also will now not work (pfsense and PC-BSD for example). The level of support thus far has been great, I'm just pointing this out so the track record can continue.
Thanks again Parallels team.
Ubuntu 6.10 Does Work in 3036
I installed the LiveCD for 6.10 with no troubles. I'm on only on a 1.66 CD though.
I have some sound problems, posted, but have been able to install to a HD, add extra software, tweak xorg.conf for 1400x1050, etc.
Ubuntu does go black on boot, but after 30 seconds or so it does come right up to X login screen. Another wrinkle is that apparently you need to crank the VM memory down to 512 Megs, or it won't boot.
