I wasted time with grey-crashes until I found this page: http://forum.parallels.com/thread4487.html I downloaded this alt' ver of Parallels and so far it has been fine (hooray). But 'so far' means it boots, I have yet to put an OS on - but the fact that clicking the power-on button does not cause an instant crash is a great leap forward for me, so far.

Hopefully will be fixed soon. Yes, I received my iMac Core 2 Duo today and was disappointed to find Parallels would kernel panic on trying to start any system. Hopefully will be fixed soon.

I heard that people have had better luck with osx 10.4.7 build 8K1124 but i havent got to trying that; good luck and I hope it will start working soon.

Although I don't push it very hard it has not crashed on me. So far, the new release candidate of Parallels is working great for me. Although I don’t push it very hard it has not crashed on me.
