Hi,
I want to dump my VPS to VirtualBox.
I dumped my VPS using dd :
`ssh root@remoteIP "dd if=/dev/sda | gzip - " | dd of=image.gz`
And converted the raw image to VDI using :
gunzip image.gz
VBoxManage convertdd image image.vdi --format VDI
I created a new VirtualBox image with Unknown OS, Unknown version, loaded my vdi disk.
Now when i start the VM, i have the GRUB, i choose Debian, and it stuck on black screen with white bar :
!vlcsnap-2021-06-18-11h44m36s793|690x465
What do i missed ? Is it possible to boot from a dump of OVH VPS ?
Thanks
