Shameless plug here - In the current beta version Veewee is now able to build Parallels systems.

That might be useful to create your environment, as there is no real need to import it?
And it will install ruby and puppet

I fought with this about three months ago and got the answer out of Parallels Tech Support:

1. Convert your VmWare virtual Machine but do not run it.
2. Go to Virtual Machine drop-down menu -> Configure -> Hardware -> Hard Disk 1 and change its location from SATA to IDE (e.g. IDE 0:1).
3. Run your Virtual Machine.

It works for me.  Please let me know if it works for you.

I am attempting to use the Learning Puppet VM [1] with Parallels Desktop 7 on a Mac (Snow Leopard).

Unfortunately, Parallels does not support OVF images, so I must try the VMX image. Parallels has the ability to convert VMware images, although I don't know if this works well.

If I attempt to import the VMX image using Parallels, I run into two problems. I will include the screenshots on Google+ (See link [2])

 1. Parallels fails to detect the operating system in the VMX image.
    Please see the screenshot at [2]. Regardless, I went ahead with
    the import of this image and Parallels says the import was
    successful.
 2. After importing the image, I boot the Virtual Machine. However,
    the OS is unable to find any of the LVM volume groups, and the
    the kernel panics.

I am unsure if this is a problem with the VMX image, or if Parallels is doing something wrong. The main problem seems to be that LVM cannot create the volume group.

I know this is a long shot, but I am hoping there are other Mac or Parallels users out there who have tried the Learning Puppet VM.

Thank you for your help,

Hopefully link [2] works.
