Maybe the powerloss caused hard disk errors or data loss? Try attaching a live-cd (i.e. iso file of a working linux live distro) to the VM and select it in the boot order options for the VM. Then mount your existing hard drive in there and rebuild the bootloader/initramfs/partition table/whatever else got damaged (or just copy off any configuration and reinstall home assistant).

In general, this is exactly the reason for backups ;)
