How to prevent Parallels 7 from breaking kernel cache

[459below]

Hi,

this is a fairly small and easy issue to fix. i'm mentioning this since it seems macinsane (viewtopic.php?f=7&t=25427&view=next) had trouble finding it.

so afaik the UseKernelCache option only works if every kext is located in /S/L/E and nowhere else. (so no more /E/E.)

parallels 7 creates symlinks in /S/L/E which should to be the cause for the kernel caching to fail.

to make it short, just copying them like this:

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/prl_*
sudo cp -vr /Library/Parallels/Parallels\ Service.app/Contents/Kexts/10.6/prl_* /System/Library/Extensions/

fixed it for me. parallels is still working as before (bootcamp, networking and everything).
i guess you will have to repeat this after each update.

regards,

Thank you for this. Others said to remove parallels, which is a terrible solution if you've paid for it and like it otherwise.

I don't get these error messages ( "S/L/E is more recent than kernel cache" or "KextIdentifiers is out of date" etc.) but this is still a good tip. I did it and P7 still works. Thanks!
