Hello @PernalongaPirat, could you provide some additional information about how was the image migrated. In cloud logging what are the logs stored for this particular instance under the  ERROR severity. 
It may help to see what is going on, so you could enable "Enable display device" from the VM settings and visualize the boot up process.

It's not an error or whatever, the ISO I want to test is "umbrel", but when I try to put the ISO it doesn't appear and such, I've already put it in Google Cloud storage and such. I even used chatGPT

Hello @PernalongaPirat  ,Welcome on Google Cloud Community.

It will not gonna work like that.  You have to CREATE custom image or import it. If you upload *.iso into bucket, it will not be visible as boot option. 

How to create custom image: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images/create-custom#gcloud 

How to import: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/import

Understood! In this regard i would suggest to mount and convert the ISO as any accepted virtual disk image, re-upload it to the bucket and import it as a custom image with the migrate to virtual machines module on compute engine

Migrate to Virtual Machine -> Image Import -> Create Image

Another option would be to have a secondary disk which you could make the iso available, do an installation from it in another disk, take a snapshot later on and finally create an image out of that snapshot. Take a look on this document, might be helpful. But I think option 1 will be the best scenario here.
