Not sure if it is just me, but a recent upgrade to Parallels 26.0.1 desktop makes my VMs (FreeBSD 13, 14 and 15) hang waiting for a usb device to do "something." on an M1 Ultra Mac running macOS 15.6.1 Here is a screen scrape of an image of the failure: Instruction Set Attributes 2 = < Processor Features 0 = <CSV3, CSV2,PSTATE.DIT, RAS, AdvSIMD+HP,FP+HP, EL1, ELO> Processor Features 1 = ‹MTE_frac> Processor Features 2 = < Memory Model Features 0 = <ExS, TGran4, TGran15, 8bit ASID, 64GB PA> Memory Model Features 1 = <XNX, SpecSEI, PAN+ATS11,LO, HPD+TTPBHA, 8bit VMID> Memory Model Features 2 = <EOPD, TTL, IDS, AT, 32bit CCIDX, 48bit VA, TESB, UAO, CnP> Memory Model Features 3 = <> Memory Model Features 4 = <> Debug Features 0 = <DoubleLock,2 CTX BKPTs,4 Watchpoints,6 Breakpoints,F 1Uv3, Debugv8> Debug Features 1 = <> Auxiliary Features 0 = ‹› Auxiliary Features 1 = ‹› Arch32 Instruction Set Attributes 5 = <> IArch32 Media and VFP Features 0 = <> IArch32 Media and VFP Features 1 = <> PU 1: ARM Unknown CPU r0p0 (midr: 410f0000) affinity: 1 jico: using for IPIs elease APs... done usbus0: 480Mbps High Speed USB v2.0 usbus1: 5.0Gbps Super Speed USB v3.0 There is no crash, no dumps. The console just sits at that usbus1: selection until I shut it down. This screen dump is from a boot-only .iso for 15 from last week. I get this same reaction from all of my FreeBSD VMs. Windows 11 VMs are not affected. I've reported this to the Parallels support team, but other than rolling back to a prior version of Parallels (which worked), they haven't offered a solution. Tim
