Ubuntu 8.10 on PDM3 5626 [BUG]

Ok, I already know Parallels Tools won't install on 8.10 yet, but I would at least expect the installation and running the VM to work normally without PTools, but no.

After upgrading from 5624 and restarting my mac and checking that the .kexts were updated I started a Ubuntu 8.10 installation, when ubuntu starts copying/installing the files to the hd Parallels crashes. Deleted the machine started over, crashed when copying the files again, this time I didn't delete the machine or .hdd after, and restarted the installation of Ubuntu, now the installation went well.
But, unfortunately, the machine never manages to shutdowns by itself, it always gets to the ubuntu shutdown screen but I have to shutdown manually from the shutdown button in Parallels making the file system dirty.

I've been disappointed with the timeliness of parallels linux tools, which pretty much makes it a diversion for me rather than a serious product. I won't be upgrading yet.
 
Also, I forgot to say, the CPU stays at 100% during the shutdown process that never terminates. :(
 
Gone back to 5624 and I was able to install Ubuntu 8.10 without crashing.

I have the same problem, but when I disable the splash screen to see the boot messages, the system indicates that it shuts down properly. I never see any recovery messages during bootup.

Splash image can be disabled by putting "nosplash" in the kernel command line.

I have the same problem - crashes every time, except I couldn't get it to restart like you did.
