I bought Parallels for my Mac Pro laptop, and I was really pleased with how its been running Vista Ultimate.
I purchased another 2 licenses, and I started running into problems when I'm trying to run Windows server 2008 on a mac pro tower.
I understand its "experimental" but I'd like to know if I'll be able to resolve the stability issues soon, because I need to make a decision on a development server. I'd like to use this virtual option on hardware I already own.
I decided to start a new thread as I've seen different reasons in posts for ACPI problems, from installation to using boot camp.
I'm getting random reboots with this error in the logs below.
I have all power management and screen saver options off for both operating systems.
I'm not using boot camp.
I was using version 5866 but I just noticed an update. I'm going to install it to see if it helps.
