Ok, I will give it a look. The odd thing is that this was not an upgrade but a fresh install. The install was "funny" since build 57 is requiring a network be configured to do a basic install and in Parallels the ni0 interface cannot be configured since the driver is missing (installed post-installation in builds 55/56). As a result, I had to do some trickery to get the install going (dropping to shell, mounting the ISO DVD image manually, and then kicking off the install process manually as well). Thanks for the pointer, I will give it a look. g
