    Hi!

    After reinstall Parallels on kernel 2.6.20.3 and 2.6.20.4 module hypervisor cannot be loaded:

    FATAL: Error inserting hypervisor (/lib/modules/2.6.20.4/kernel/drivers/misc/parallels/hypervisor.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
    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.

    dmesg shows:

    hypervisor: Unknown symbol paravirt_ops

    Any ideas?

    dbox,

    This is the known issue with 2.4.20 kernels. No workarounds are available to the moment. We're working on providing a fix to it...

    Problem solved. Kernel must be compiled without Paravirtualization support.

    PARAVIRT [=n] in kernel config.

    Which file?

    I'm having this problem in FC6, 2.6.20-1.2933.fc6, what is the file name for this edit?
    TIA

    You must recompile the kernel

    cd /usr/src/kernels/linux-2.6.20[kernel_subversion]

    Edit file .config and find CONFIG_PARAVIRT
    Hash this line

    make
    make modules_install
    make install
    reboot

    Thats all :)
