I have followed the instructions you mention (specifically in https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/export-image) to export successfully a raw disk, converted it to virtual disk with VirtualBox utilities (VBoxManage) and configured as a local vm. Unfortunately both in virtualbox or vmware player the vm does not boot (it hangs up with a black screen and no significant error message).
I have tried to recreate the grub boot loader as per https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Installation_Guide/s2-rescuemode-boot-reinstall-bootloader.html but the result is the same.
Is it possible to export a simple (just one disk) Linux vm from GCP altogether or is it somehow restricted due to specific GCP settings?
Thx in advance.
