I have a VM that I created under Parallels 5 and am currently running under 6. It's several months old.

> 1. ps2intellimouse: scrolling works if you're scrolling down, but if you make the scroll up gesture, the mouse skitters off to the right and really doesn't scroll back up. Anyone seen this or have a tricky solution?

I saw this for the first time today. In my case, scrolling up *also* creates occasional b2 presses. Weird. I haven't used the GUI on Parallels much for two years, so I can't help with when it was introduced.

> 2. Ethernet card is not detected. I am not 100% sure there's nothing different in the configuration, but I've made the plan9.ini look the same in both VMs and still it fails to detect the NE2000 emulated ethernet card. There are also ominous messages about usbd: no hub during bootup that don't happen under the old one.

Ethernet works here (and did under Parallels 5, as well), and I've got nothing in plan9.ini to trick it. You don't see the device at all (not just no data or whatnot)?

> Is there a boot log somewhere I can examine for messages I may not have seen, or any other debugging information I can go looking for?

/dev/kmesg will give you the console prints so far; /dev/kprint will wait for new ones (and prevent them going to your actual console).
