Latest Parallels and Macbook Air Kernel Panic

[Pass2Yao]

Hi there. I recently gave in and bought a Macbook Air (1.6, 80) on Saturday night and installed parallels on Sunday night through an electronic download. I have read on this forum that many people had kernel panic issues that were solved through a recent patch made by the Parallels team. Since I downloaded Parallels after the patch was made, is it necessary to still download the fix? Thank you for your help!

Look at the build version in Parallels. If it's less than 5592 then I'd get the update.

Good luck - and congrats on the new purchase!

Use this MacBook Air specific version:

This is the direct link to the special 5592 build http://download.parallels.com/v3/en/GA/Parallels Desktop 5592 Mac en.dmg
we recommend to use this build only on Macbook Air.

Installed the latest build noted above after my Air rebooted itself yesterday.

No problems thus far!
