Hypervisor Crash when booting Mandriva 2008 Spring

Hi,

I installed Mandriva 2008 Spring without any problems into a new VM in Parallels 3 build 5608. However, when I boot it, it looks like the hypervisor is crashing as soon as it tries to load X? Anyone else having similar issues?

What is in logs?

 

I've attached the bug report; it doesn't seem too informative (to me at least).

I can get to single user, but as soon as I try to load X it crashes. I haven't installed parallels tools or anything like that.

 

Yep, indeed no clue

Try to find those
Archive of /Library/Parallels/bugreports/
or ~/Library/Parallels/bugreports/

* /Library/Logs/panic.log
or ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Parallels.crash.log from the Mac side;

 

I've attached the archive, but I don't see anything else revealing.

I tried setting X to use 800x600 instead of 1024x768, no change either.

 

Still no use
Can you see something in Mac OS system.log?

 

There's nothing there either which indicates a crash. Nor are there any messages which match up with the time the hypervisor failed:

 

Ok can see only hypervisor crash,
what applications is running at the same time?
Do you have antivirus on Mac OS side?

 

Quite a few

Typically:

Firefox
Mail
iCal
Adium
Colloquy
TextEdit
OmniOutliner
iTunes
Terminal
Quicksilver

+ in the menu
iScrobbler
CapsWarn
iStat Menus
SynergyKVM

+ who knows what launchd is loading in the background. Locationchanger and Hazel are the ones I know of.

I don't run any anti-virus apps. My Ubuntu and Windows VM's seem to work fine. But it is worrying considering that no matter how bad a guest OS behaves, it should never be able to crash the hypervisor.

 

Did you install Synergy on Mandriva?

 

No, all I've done is the default install and the subsequent reboot, where X crashes so I can't get any further.

 

Try to create new VM with OS type Mandriva and add existing disk, this may help
Also try to disable Hardware Acceleration and Intel VT-x support

 

I created a new VM with no change. When I disable VT-x, right at the start of the kernel initializing the VM turns off. Disabling HW acceleration had no effect.

If I copy and convert the disk image and run it in Virtualbox, it loads fine.
