    trying to run parallels-config gives:

    Configuring Parallels Workstation 2.1 drivers...
    Compiling Parallels Workstation 2.1 drivers...
    Drivers have been compiled successfully.
    Installing drivers...
    Starting drivers...
    Loading Parallels Workstation 2.1 hypervisor ...
    insmod: error inserting '/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/hypervisor/hypervisor.o': -1 Operation not permitted
    Can not load hypervisor module.
    Parallels Workstation drivers were successfully configured
    and compiled but cannot be started (insmod command failed).
    Run 'dmesg' command for more information.

    relevant dmesg line:
    [ 3478] Unable to register /dev/hypervisor device (/usr/lib/parallels/drivers/hypervisor/hdevice.c:234)

    uname -a:
    Linux xxx 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 19 18:32:14 EDT 2005 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

    any help?

    Hello,

    As the workaround, please try running the following commands:
    1. rm -rf /dev/hypervisor
    2. rpm -e Parallels-2.1.1670-lin
    3. reboot
    4. Install & configure Parallels Workstation again

    This time Parallels should be able to install successfully.

    Please let us know immediately if it doesn't help.

    We're working right now on creating patch that should allow installation that doesn't require reboot.
