I just bought a new MacBook Pro i7. The kernel is configured to run in 64-bit mode. Information about this MBP and the Parallels version I am running is below:

Parallels Desktop 5: Build 5.0.9344, Revision 558741

Model Name: MacBook Pro
Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,1
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: MBP61.0057.B05
SMC Version (system): 1.57f16
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D2094)
Kernel Version: Darwin 10.3.1
Boot Volume: Macintosh HD
Boot Mode: Normal
Secure Virtual Memory: Enabled
64-bit Kernel and Extensions: Yes

I migrated all my data and files from my old MBP including Parallels Desktop and my Windows 7 Ultimate VM. I have my VM configured to mount virtual disks to the Mac OS X desktop.

Starting and running my Windows 7 VM on my new MBP works fine. However, I no longer get a desktop mount icon for my running VM. If I stop the VM and attempt to mount it via Parallels Mounter, it reports that it is unable to open the VM.

Is this a known issue with the new MacBook Pros?
 
I fixed this on my own by uninstalling the 32 bit version of MacFuse and replacing it with the 64 bit version. I suspect that I would not run into this issue if I were running the 32 bit version of the kernel.
