Hello, I don't know if you can do much on deb, you do have an option to recover from the VMDK.

You can try connecting the VMDK to another virtual machine & power on. Try to mount the drives if the machine boots. Take a back up of VMDK and run fsck on the partition. I hope you do have back up of all your critical data. HTH, -Amresh > Any advice would be appreciated.
