I have found myself skipping the desktop CD's because they are always freezing up or are incredibly slow. Have you tried the alternate CD’s?

For some reason - I haven't had this before with many many other distros and ISO's - this just won't boot. You'd just think they would try it on all the VM's out there at least. Granted I am normally a VMware guy, but I'd rate Parallels as getting pretty significant from a desktop VM environment point of view. I almost can't believe this is happening. It's such a dumb/obvious problem. Incidentally my VM running the ISO has been at a black screen since boot for about two days now. Just left it to see if it was REALLY slow, but no luck. Thanks for your input Derek. I didn’t try the alternate CD’s only because I wanted the bootable environment for a quick check of the new “released” version’s features.

For some reason, that will make Ubuntu recognize the Parallels CD drivers. Set the virtual machine type to Solaris. For some reason, that will make Ubuntu recognize the Parallels CD drivers.
