gzipped image of *what*? Is it a gzipped copy of a disk image, which you’ve added to the set of disks attached to your virtualized hosts? A
gzipped tarball of an operating systems’s contents? And which virtualization technology are you using? If it’s a disk image, which format is it?
a qcow2

And the other questions? Which virtualization technology are you using, and have you enabled the qcow2 uncimpressed image in your configuration for your virtual host?
kvm i import it with virt-install Nico Kadel-Garcia skrev 2014-05-03 20:58:
OK. Does the BIOS report the disk as perceived? Or does booting with a live CD or DVD report the disk image as available? My concern is that your “gzipped gcow2” image is not what you think it is, and the disk image is corrupted or invalid.
it worked before i gziped it Nico Kadel-Garcia skrev 2014-05-04 06:05:
If the software is the same and the disk image isn’t, then you must have corrupted your disk image somehow in the process. I’m afraid that’s not something we can help you with.
