Hi,
After upgrading to Parallels Desktop version 26.2.1 (57371), on an iMac M3, my FreeBSD 15.0 VM no longer boots. It crashes on boot with "panic: unhandled external data abort". See screenshot below.
Notes:
  • The crash occurs both when booting on the installed OS and the installation ISO image. That is the weird thing. I can accept that my installed OS can become somehow corrupted and no longer works. But the installation ISO image is immutable and used to work (because I installed the OS!) I even downloaded a fresh copy, with the same result.
  • The exact sequence is: 1) boot, 2) display the FreeBSD installer boot menu (ok), 3) start booting the ISO image -> immediately crashes.
  • It seems that the keyboard is not operative. It is not possible to type a selection in the installer boot menu. I have to other choice than letting the automatic boot start.
  • The Linux VMs and the Windows VM still work correctly. The problem is only on the FreeBSD VM.
