v1.0.0 Crashes My Mac

Not sure what the difference is, but I initiate Boot2Docker manually in a terminal and it ran without a problem (per the Docker documentation):

$ boot2docker init
$ boot2docker start
$ export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://$(boot2docker ip 2>/dev/null):2375

More than happy to provide any log files or info if it helps track down this potential bug.

Okay, I have more info and can replicate the problem now. Basically, if I am running a virtual machine in Parallels 8 (build 8.0.18619) and I try to start boot2docker, the machine crashes.

If I am running boot2docker, and then try to bring up a VM in Parallels, the machine crashes. I am guessing Parallels is using VirtualBox too? In any case, on my box, I CANNOT run both at the same time. As long as one is running, bringing up the other will crash my system.

yes, all the visualization platforms don't seem to play nicely with each other - Parallels is a different codebase - it might be useful to the world to report the bug to both Parallels and VirtualBox - you never know, it might even get fixed :)

This is mostly to do with VirtualBox. You can't run both VB and Parallels at the same time, as I am not mistaken, VB or Parallels try to exclusively own the hypervisor. Some users might find it lucky to have VMWare Fusion to work together with VB, but not VB with Parallels.
