After updating the 10.1.2 (28859) the Parallels tools installation was stuck on Debian Wheezy virtual machine. X server stopped responding (frozen mouse cursor) and I had to reboot the Virtual OS over ssh connection. After reboot the tools are not installed, X windows won't start and I'm not able to mount the Parallels tools CD image and thus "Re-install Parallels tools" fails. Error message is "isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sda2, iso_blknum=16, block=32".
I'm getting really anxious about installing new versions of Parallels since it is starting to rot from inside. Each new version creates more problems than it solves and I'm quite close to switching to VirtualBox.
Edit: I was able to copy iso image to guest with scp and mount it there with -o loop. After re-installing the tools everything works again.
