Also my firmware back up usb was corrupted and when I follow the wiki I am not able to download the firmware back up image ((Asus) curl -L -o stock-firmware.rom https://db.tt/sLQL9i1p ) using the ChromiumOS prompt as directed. I have tried to use the recovery process, but I'm thinking my firmware is corrupted. When it boots, I can hit ESC and boot from my ChromiumOS usb, but if it goes to the internal drive, I get stuck at unpacking kernel. What I think I need is the firmware rom for my box. When I follow the wiki from the ChromiumOS prompt, my screen flashes a bunch of code and the stops.

Again, thank you for your great work and I will donate for sure if you can direct me though this mess. At one time I had Chrome and Unb running great, but wanted to try a diff setup and got into this mess.

Thanks for any direction.

I'll try to run through the steps to get Ubuntu + ChromeOS set up now following the instructions from the initial post. I believe I can continue from Step 4 onwards that says "Download/run the EZ setup script, choose desired dual boot configuration, select partition size"

I'm now trying to restore it back to factory as per the wiki, but I cannot get it to boot from my usb - I get no seabios boot menu, no option to press ESC, I've tried pressing ESC within seconds of bootup and nothing just boots into openelec, even tried several keyboards in the house.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Too bad, this Acer cpu is the best cost and feature ratio I could find, does anyone know if the hp or the asus have real hardware acceleration because they don't have intel quick sync, only the Acer 2957u have both Intel quicksync and clear video
