Hypervisor Crash when booting Mandriva 2008 Spring

Hi,

I installed Mandriva 2008 Spring without any problems into a new VM in Parallels 3 build 5608. However, when I boot it, it looks like the hypervisor is crashing as soon as it tries to load X? Anyone else having similar issues?

Yep, indeed no clue

Try to find those
Archive of /Library/Parallels/bugreports/
or ~/Library/Parallels/bugreports/

* /Library/Logs/panic.log
or ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/Parallels.crash.log from the Mac side;
 
There's nothing there either which indicates a crash. Nor are there any messages which match up with the time the hypervisor failed:

Quite a few :)

Typically:

Firefox
Mail
iCal
Adium
Colloquy
TextEdit
OmniOutliner
iTunes
Terminal
Quicksilver

+ in the menu
iScrobbler
CapsWarn
iStat Menus
SynergyKVM

+ who knows what launchd is loading in the background. Locationchanger and Hazel are the ones I know of.

I don't run any anti-virus apps. My Ubuntu and Windows VM's seem to work fine. But it is worrying considering that no matter how bad a guest OS behaves, it should never be able to crash the hypervisor.
 
Try to create new VM with OS type Mandriva and add existing disk, this may help
Also try to disable Hardware Acceleration and Intel VT-x support
 
I created a new VM with no change. When I disable VT-x, right at the start of the kernel initializing the VM turns off. Disabling HW acceleration had no effect.

If I copy and convert the disk image and run it in Virtualbox, it loads fine.
