I re-installed ChromeOS, I followed your script as a new install and it worked fine,
The OpenELEC backup function did not work. It was OK to reconfigure the box again.
By the way, re-installing the ChromeOS did not solve the issue of no audio on HDMI.
Now the people at Google are telling me it is known bug in their last release and they are working on it. Obviously not working very hard because it is been going on for more than 2 months !!!.
The new guy at Google in charge of ChromeOS was saying the other day that he predicts ChromeOS will be the dominant OS in the future !!!. What a joke !!!. How long did it take Apple to correct the snafu with IOS 8 ? one day ?
Best Regards.

make_timeout ()
{
cat << EOF
if [ "\${recordfail}" = 1 ]; then
set timeout=5
else
set timeout=${2}
fi
EOF
}

Did a "sudo grub-update" and it is booting fine now. The grub menu appears for 5 seconds then continues. It does look like the grub code is a bit flakey in Ubuntu 14.04. I'm just surprised nobody has report this already.

I fixed it on the TV by pressing the Menu button on the TV remote, going into Picture, VIewing Mode, and setting it to THX. When I did this the screen size on XBMC was perfect with no adjustment required. Note that this setting is unique to each AV input, so making this change on the XBMC HDMI input will not affect your TV or other HDMI inputs.

Note that you could also change the screen size in XBMC by going to System, System, Video Output, Video calibration and then adjust the screen size to match your TV. .

Setting the Panasonic TV Viewing Mode to THX is a better solution since this will fix the screen size for the boot menu, ChromeOS, OpenELEC and XBMC.

When attempting a dual-boot configuration I get to the part where the Chromebox will reboot and "repair" after the drive partitioning, but after it resets CTRL+L just causes the machine to beep, not reboot in legacy mode. It'll eventually boot into ChromeOS.

In a single-boot configuration SteamOS installs but the MAC Address is lost in the process and Debian guides to permanently change it don't work for me.

I'd be fine with it booting just into SteamOS, but not having Ethernet is a non-starter. The change logs seem to indicate this issue was fixed with newer versions of the script, so why is it that I'm running into the same problem?
