I found that interupting the grub and booting into failsafe, then running file system check (fsck) fixed my problems. Leads me to think the issue originates from the VM being shutdown incorrectly or 'abruptly" ;) I was also encountering the “Unable to locate RSDP” error.

Thanks for the know-how. I have one question, though. I've been unable to get Ubuntu to recognize the Optical Drive. The VM is set to use it but I've tried to access it and Ubuntu tells me it doesn't have and Optical Drive installed. Thanks for the Help. This tutorial is great! Thanks for the know-how.

The solution was to enable the "Third level choosers key"; here is how: go to System->Preferences->Keyboard->Leyout Options open the third level chooser and check the "press the right Alt key to choose the 3° level". I have tested only with the italian layout but it must works with all the layouts and the symbols that you type pressing the Alt key on Mac Os x. I hope it could be usefull.
