I've setup an OS side NFS mount and installed some addons - one of which needs an OS level share installed instead of having Kodi use one built in and I can see it mounted via ssh.

I'd bet it's hanging on trying to mount the NFS share before the network is up. Do you have the share setup properly to wait for the network before mounting?

But if I plug in a HDMI cable and boot into openelec, it gives some squiggly lines on the TV and the laptop then both go blank. I have to hold the power button down to do a hard reset. I initially had the storage partition set to 1 GB, I then did another restore and changed it to 2 GB.Any suggestions on what is causing this issue?

no idea, but since you're using a ChromeBook (vs ChromeBox) there's no a whole lot I can do for you. Best thing I can suggest is to restore the factory legacy bios, which contains the video bios as well, and might be responsible for the issues you are having.

I have an identical looking keyboard branded Rii I8. It works on my intel based hardware so should work on the Chromebox. It even works in the Bios of my Intel hardware, so may work for the chromebox ctrl- key options.

Wonder if an addon can crash Kodi/OpenELEC as one of the addons was updated so may try it. I'm gong to try rebooting the Chromebox from Kodi once the wife is done using the TV before I run the addon to see if it is causing the issue as a bit of a process of elimination.

From a hardware standpoint, HD4000 (Haswell) is accurate; the only difference between the Celeron and Haswell Core i3/i7 GPUs with the HD4400 GPU is the number of execution units (EUs) and the clock speed.

HD 4000 is IVB with 16 EUs - HD Graphics (HSW) is 10 EUs
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_HD_and_Iris_Graphics
Where is the Hardware Standpoint where HSW HD is similar to IVB HD4000?
If you say Celeron 2955U have an HD4000, people think this is an IVB GPU and have this Bug for example
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79765
But that's not true, cause Celeron 2955U is an Haswell and have an HD Graphics HSW GPU.

So why don't call it like everyone call it, HD Graphics?
I don't call my i3 3225 an i5 2500 also, although they might be similar.

ok, then stick with that - I make no promises that any of this will work with the Haswell ChromeBooks, especially not the firmware (which I guarantee 100% will brick them). If the stock legacy BIOS on your ChromeBook is functional (unlike with the Asus/HP ChromeBoxes) then there's no reason to update it.

the firmware files use by my script (both the full coreboot firmware and SeaBIOS payload for the stock firmware) are built by me, and optimized/tested only on the Haswell ChromeBoxes; the Haswell ChromeBooks are different because they have an onboard display and sensors for lid open/shut etc. I have built custom firmware for ChromeBook users who have requested it, though I don't make those available publicly, only upon request, since I can't test them beforehand.

I just got my Asus ChromeBox, does it have the WOL option with your bios?
If so, how can i turn it ON?
