Hi all
We have an ISO (based on centos 7) that we imported in GCP but when we start a new VM doesnt show anything ......
A menu should appear and then install the centos custom image. 

Any idea? 
If I user the console is it a graphic console or just serial? 
Cheers

Could you tell us how you imported the image? Are you referring to Importing custom images for Compute Engine? [1]

Hi there. Yes importing a custom image.
Well what I ve done was 
  • import the ISO into the bucket
  • then converted into a custom image
  • then run an instance with that custom image.
The problem is that it should boot then it should display a boot menu then install on the local disk but doesn't show us the menu at all....
I thought it was the console not properly setup but not sure. 

Is that the way to import a custom image? The ISO is a centos7 based OS

am I doing something wrong?
Cheers

Hi all.
Has anyone ever done this before?

If you need to connect to the console on the first installation (Linux) how do you do that? Or maybe my image has something not right?

Cheers

Hi Alfredo,


First, please check and make sure to follow the documentation [1], which provides detailed information on creating an image from an ISO file.


Second, in order to isolate the issue, are you able to create an instance of the custom image using ‘gcloud’ command? If not, please use the ‘--verbosity’ flag with an appropriate level (debug, info, warning, error, critical, or none) [2] in the gcloud commands (for both creation of the image and the creation of an instance of the image) to track any possible issues. Please provide the output for further investigation. This might help to identify where the issue is located.
