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 :

What do i missed ? Is it possible to boot from a dump of OVH VPS ?  
  
Thanks
