PArallels Workstation 2.2 crashing on Ubuntu 6.10 w/Linux 2.6.18.1

Hardware:

ASUS P5B WiFi/AP (Intel 965 chipset)
HD: Seagate 320GB SATA
DVD: Plextor DVD-R SATA
Video: Nvidia 7950GT (eVGA)
RAM: 2GB

1) installed Ubuntu 6.10 RC
2) updated all packages via Synaptics to be up to date
3) downloaded/built/ran 2.6.18.1
4) download Parallels 2.2 for Linux as .deb
5) relink /bin/sh to /bin/bash (Ubuntu seems to have linked sh to dash)
6) run parallels-config, everything seems to install fine
7) run parallels. It comes up. Try to create a new VM, start the VM, and it segfaults. I also get a segfault just on exiting Parallels (by clicking on the close (x) button)

Here's the message I got:

martin@martin:~/Desktop/parallels-2.2.2092-lin$ sudo parallels

If you need more info, please let me know. I'd like to purchase a license, so if anyone can help me get this running, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
Martin
