Parallels on Kalyway 10.5.1 with

[dinomite]

I just built a hackintosh with an Asus P5K motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (Wolfdale, 45nm, 3GHz) processor. Everything is working great, excep Parallels which I just installed and won't even startup. I searched and found others who were able to run Parallels on recent machines, though none mentioned their processors specifically.

 

I know that this is a very new processor, could that be the source of the problem?

 

I also saw some references to things being fixed when 10.5.2 comes out which brings up another question: is it OK to run software updates on a Kalyway install?

its ok if you have efi installed, its not ok if you don't. Are you running the vanilla kernel?

 

I had problems with parallels too. It would freeze when I tried to create a new machine. idk why.

 

I decided that it was missing the english language localization, but I'm not sure if this was the fatal error.

Thanks for the input; I am running the vanilla kernel and have EFI (I think):

That's a good thought. I'll play around and see if I can gather any more info.

I installed all of the software updates and they worked just fine. Parallels still doesn't run, though. Tailing /var/log/system.log shows this when I try to run Parallels:

I wonder if I should send that to Parallels and tell them I'm running a hackintosh.
