I have a KVM (qemu-img raw) that I have attempted to convert to VirtualBox.
I did the convertfromraw to convert to vdi.
I was hoping it would be that simple but, no.
When I try to boot the image, it does not boot. Is there something "extra" I need to do - or something different?
Thanks,

Yes, make sure your initrd knows about the new hardware (aka virtualbox emulated devices) and also that the kernel command line doesn't contain any /dev/vda (as you would probably have /dev/sda on vbox). Also check for the same in /etc/fstab. Centos should use UUIDs in both cases, but still, you never know. Or does the convert utility also change the UUIDS?. Anyway, the most important bit is rebuilding the initrd imho.
