I recently installed the Big Sur beta on my 2019 16" Macbook Pro. I tried to run Parallels, only to be given a message saying to restart to complete the installation. The trouble is, whether I choose to restart or quit Parallels, the application hangs. If I then restart and try to run it again, I get the same message.
I looked at the logs, and it appears that it is failing when trying to load one of its kernel extensions, and then assuming that a restart is needed to enable them. It tries to issue the following command:
/usr/bin/kmutil load -p /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/Library/Extensions/10.9/prl_vnic.kext -r /Applications/Parallels\ Desktop.app/Contents/Library/Extensions/10.9
which fails with the following error:
Error: Error Domain=KMErrorDomain Code=1 "Kernel request failed: (libkern/kext) kext (kmod) start/stop routine failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Kernel request failed: (libkern/kext) kext (kmod) start/stop routine failed}
Does anyone else have this problem? It doesn't seem to be universal since I've seen plenty of reports of people successfully running Parallels on Big Sur.
