Unable to "mount virtual disks to Mac desktop"

[bkk]

Man, I am clueless as to what is happening. Works fine at work, works fine on my laptop but doesn't work on my new 2011 iMac. I took a look at the log and came away with this, not much information but maybe it triggers something in one of you. Where would I start debugging this? I tried completely uninstalling Parallels Desktop on the OSX side (including some additional system folders removed), then completely uninstalling Parallels Tools on the Windows side.

Parallels Desktop 6.0 -- latest version
Windows 7 64bit

Hi,

Try to boot Mac OS X with the 32-bit kernel: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3773

Wow that worked! Is that the only work-around available? I'd of course like to run OSX in 64bit mode if at all possible. I'll certainly take this though, I cannot work without access to my files.

Thanks!

In order to get this working under 64bit, I used the MacFuse 2.1.9 that was compiled for 64 bit found here

http://www.offthehill.org/articles/2010/12/31/macfuse-for-64-bit-snow-leopard/

I used the precompiled version under the "Just Give Me Something To Install!" section.

MacFUSE worked perfectly! Probably also why it also always worked on my laptop and at work.

You guys are awesome, thanks!
