I just bought another Chromebox,Is there anything that i need to worry about?
My previous Chromebox is using XBMC Gotham and its works great.

Thanks!

you can still install OE 4.2.1 (XBMC 13.2) if you prefer, you just need to download and create the install media yourself, vs using the script. Only notable difference from a ChromeBox point of view is the one video acceleration settings change, which is documented in 'recommended settings' section of the wiki (as well as the post directly above yours)

if you're not sure, just download and create a fresh one. There's nothing on the OE install media to indicate the version, though the presence of the SYSTEM and KERNEL files in the USB stick root are indicative that it is an OE installer

The OpenElec version with Kodi is still beta so your gonna have to update it manually.

I'm pretty sure I've 'bricked' it now.... ;o(

I was following the instructions for a dual boot and things were looking right. When I did the final restart to expect to see XBMC appear, then I saw some issues about 'booting the kernel'. After searching for a solution for this issue I decided I would rather go back to the original factory settings but this was apparently a struggle again. So at some point I decided to switch to a stand alone XBMC solution - expecting this would 'cure' the issues I had... Unfortunately this didn't get me to XBMC again? (kernel issues?) I took a backup going through the installation, but when I boot from USB it shows booting the kernel, but nothing happens...(a backup of a faulty system?)

So now I'm in trouble and can't think of any other solutions... can anyone help? Is there a way to install a "correct" version on my usb to get it back and try something again or is it "dead"?

Would appreciate any kind of help, ;o)

By the way - was/is using this: Chromebox 2955U and a 8gb kingston USB

you didn't brick it, you just need to install an OS (OpenELEC, Ubuntu, etc) via USB. Create a USB installer on another machine, then boot it on the ChromeBox and install.

TV is on the right Channel, HDM Switch is On. But if i turn the HDM Switch off, start the Box and turn the HDMI Switch on after the Box is Turned on i got a Signal to the TV. Its exact the same Problem mentioned here: http://www.google.at/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&sqi=2&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fproductforums.google.com%2Fd%2Ftopic%2Fchromebook-central%2FzGfOLjEOWiU&ei=70uAVKvwAujX7AbKk4CADA&usg=AFQjCNGXLHlQlS8TbwlwCuJRQJlki8Ku-Q&sig2=uKu6GU1Y4GxrNkdJIQ5HSg&bvm=bv.80642063,d.bGQ

On my Computer Monitor everything is fine via HDMI and DP. Wierd. Is there a chance that a standalone install with coreboot solves the problem?

I never had any HDMI Issues with this TV with various devices (DVD Player, BD Player, Streming Box (Xstreamer), Video Game Consoles or a PC connected vie DVI-D 2 HDMI Cable) so in my oppinion this is a Issue related to the chromboxes Video Bios or the HDMI Handshake Procedure. The TVs native Resolution is 1366x768 and according to the manual it is capable of displaying 1024x768 @ 60Hz, 720p and 1080i.

3.2.0-23 generic. So if is not the kernel maybe the mistake I made cause this or is it the linux mint is to resource hungry for chromebox? maybe I should look into xubuntu or lubuntu?
