Hi all, I just encountered a Mac OSX 10.4.11 kernel panic that was caused by Parallels 3.0 Build 5584. I was running a Windows XP VM and attempted to open "System" in the control panel (if that's even relevant). The panic details are: ********* Mon Mar 10 23:26:49 2008 panic(cpu 1 caller 0x00C4EF6F): unknown VM exit basic reason: 3 (0x0_00c63944, 0x54545fb0).

Hello Forrestgump2000, Please reinstall Parallels this way: Go to Finder - Applications - Utilities - Terminal. Type and run the following commands: • sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/vmmain.kext • sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/hypervisor.kext • sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/Pvsvnic.kext • sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/ConnectUSB.kext • sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/Pvsnet.kext • sudo rm -rf /Library/Parallels/ • sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.parallels.* Before you run these commands, please make sure that your VM hdd and pvs files are NOT stored in ~/Library/Parallels. Reboot your Mac and reinstall Parallels. Best regards, Xenos
