I'm trying to run either Fedora Core 5 or 6 in Parallels on a new Mac Pro, and I get consistent Mac BSOD while running parallels. I tried to dial down the memory to 512MB, I tried running it in full screen and not, I tried running it minimized and not. It consistently happens when either 1) I am trying to do a massive yum upgrade 2) I leave it sitting for a long time (overnight) I really don't know how else to troubleshoot this, I've wasted hours already and need Parallels to be reliable for me at work. From the stack trace below, it looks like it fails on memory allocation and hoses the kernel somehow. Any help would be appreciated. This is using Parallels build 3188.

Have you run a memory checker on your Mac, perhaps you are hitting bad ram which you don't normally access. andy
A short test using Member showed no problems (in multiuser mode).

Interestingly, when I search for "Failed to wire guest memory pages down" on Google, only Parallels support formum posts come up... any word from the parallels guys if this is a known issue? I can post the whole log if anyone wants it, it is fairly large... Thanks Marc
Try completely un-installing Parallels then re-install it. Here is the thread for the un-install: http://forum.parallels.com/thread1226.html Don't forget to back-up your data! Hope it helps. Cheers!
