Same problem here, with the latest version of Parallels installed. This seems unacceptable as the issue has been around for a long time. Can someone from Parallels fix this please?
 
I'm also having this issue when using Bento to generate a AlmaLinux 9 parallels vagrant box:

I think the main issue may be this one: FATAL: Module prl_tg not found in directory /lib/modules/5.14.0-70.30.1.el9_0.aarch64
 
Same issue here with CentOS Stream 9 on an M1 Pro macOS 13.0 host with PD 18.1.0(53311)

I find it hilarious that Parallels claims via https://www.parallels.com/blogs/parallels-desktop-18-1/ that in 18.1.0 they fixed installation on M1 for CentOS 9 Stream, when everyone around here knows that that is not the case. The code still fails to compile with parallel tools 18.1.0.53311

I opened a support ticket but got a reply with links about how to install parallel tools on Windows! Reopened the ticket and linked to this thread, hopefully we would have it fixed.
 
Tried running on the latest Rocky Linux 9.1, with kernel 5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.0.1.x86_64, and it's not compiling, same prl_tg errors as usual:

I'm Using Parallels Tools 17.1.6.51584.
Have tried previous patches, but not working unfortunately. Anyone been able to get it working?
I'm on an old Mac that didn't get MacOS 13, so no point me buying Parallels Desktop 18, as it's only partially supported on MacOS 12, but would be great if someone had a fix for 17.1.6 working with the latest RHEL release & derivatives
 
I played around running make with the Makefile.kmods file, and this diff got 17.1.6.51584 compiling, installing, and the OS booting for me.

I'm not a C programmer, I can't guarantee all functionality will work, and I know for a fact that the patch for prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c will break some installs using kernel 5.14.0, as obviously RHEL 9.0 used 5.14.0-70, and the old PDE_DATA worked with that. I unfortunately can't quickly with a search online find a function to compare to that low a linux kernel version to make it work for both. Having said that it works with the kernel version I'm running with (5.14.0-162.6.1.el9_1.0.1.x86_64), so I'm sticking with it for now. If anyone else has a better fix, please do update it to sort this out for both versions. :)
 
Same problem here. Parallels Dsektop 18 bussiness + CentOS 9 stream(kernel 5.14) + MacOS Monterey 12.6.6 M1
 
Just tried to get version 17.1.7.51588 working on kernel 5.14.0-284.25.1.el9_2.x86_64 , (RHEL 9.2)
This patch got it working:

I got the fix for the removed bdevname from here: https://forum.parallels.com/threads...nel-6-0-2-parallel-tools-18-0-2-53077.358750/
Otherwise, the fixes were available in previously posted patches by other users.
Again, as I noted on the last patch I posted:
I'm not a C programmer, I can't guarantee all functionality will work, and I know for a fact that the patch for prl_tg/Toolgate/Guest/Linux/prl_tg/prltg.c will break some installs using kernel 5.14.0, as obviously RHEL 9.0 used 5.14.0-70, and the old PDE_DATA worked with that.

This seems pretty improbable on its face, but here we are a whole release later (Parallels 19.0.0 on an M1 Mac, tools version 19.0.0.54570), and Red Hat (9.2) is still completely broken as a guest operating system. Is there something I'm missing?
 
Same problem with the newly released Mageia 9 (today's Mandriva Linux): Parallels Tools won't install, with the usual errors; let's hope that this will be fixed in the near future...
 
This is not the solution to the OP's specific problem, but do note that RHEL 9.2 and bug-for-bug compatible duplicates such as Rocky Linux 9.2 ship with an older kernel than is supported by the current kernel-devel* packages. Be sure to do a sudo dnf update before trying to install Parallels Tools, and make sure the kernel package is included in the updates.
