    have the latest copy of Parallels installed. There are 2 things missing.
    1. The option to install mountain lion from the wizard is missing.
    2. when i try to use the dmg (InstallESD.dmg) the VM just hangs after the apple logo. Nothing moves.

    any help

    Same here. Cannot install OS X 10.8 as guest. Probably they didn't wake up to the fact yet.

    Solved

    I tried upgrading an already working Lion VM to Mountain Lion and stumbled on the same problem: getting stuck at the Apple logo.

    Solution: Configure your VM to have 2 CPUs, it will install.

    GOD BLESS YA! I've been pulling my hair out with this for the past 2 weeks!!! 2 CPUs did the trick. It would just hang on a gray screen with one. Thanks for posting Erol!
