ViewsParallels error: "Image BSS overlaps adjacent EFI memory region"
I'm using parallels an an m1 macbook pro and the virtualization of ubuntu 20.04 worked perfectly fine until today. I can't launch it and it tells me that "Image BSS overlaps adjacent EFI memory region". Does someone know how to fix it ?
I also can't create a new virtual machine since it prints the same error when I try to launch the new one.

Booting into an older version of the Kernel allowed me to safely access the VM after this happened to me. Although I also was running out of disk and needed to increase the amount of disk space allocated to the virtual machine.
I believe the latest version of the Ubuntu 20.04 kernel may not work on Parallels for now. Specifically linux-image-5.13.0-35-generic gave me trouble and booting into linux-image-5.13.0-30-generic worked fine.
The steps I took were
- Attempt to boot into VM. It should hang at
Parallels error: "Image BSS overlaps adjacent EFI memory region" - Go to
Actions > Stop
- Attempt to boot into the VM once again, at this point it should allow you to select
Advanced options for Ubuntu. Select this. - In this screen select an older kernel version to boot into. I didn't have to boot into Recovery Mode.
- Uninstall the breaking kernel. I just did
sudo apt-get purge linux-image-5.13.0-35-generic.
It should be noted that I had older kernel versions available. If you've also deleted older kernel version preemptively, then I'm not sure what can be done.
