    What was fixed for 3.17.3 is now broken again for 3.19.3. Never gets to the graphic login screen, you just get an 'oops' screen asking you to log out.
    This is becoming tedious.

    Same problem with version 10.2.0 (28956) and Fedora 21 (3.19.3 kernel). As far as I can tell the Parallels tools requires something in the kernel which is no longer there when compiling. I have a support ticket open about this. It is definitely something Parallels is aware of (other people in this forum have been having the same problem).

    Thanks... Hadn't seen anything in the forums, and I think fc20 only got the kernel update via yum w/in the last 24hrs. Guess I'm either stuck in 3.18 for now or I start migrating to another VM.

    The other posts are about other distros but the same kernel. I would personally stick to 3.18 until there is a Parallels update to fix it.

    Going to apply the patch you provided in next couple of days. I'll let you know how it works out.

    Entered the patch manually, adding #LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,19,0) macros to keep the old code in place - just for the rare instance you have to rebuild for prior kernels. Seems to work like a champ!

    Thanks Andrew!
