RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/27] - perrm - 2015-04-28
Hi Guys,
Matt - thanks very much for your hard work and efforts. I've been mucking around with a HP Chromebox with a view to replacing my ATV2.
All was good, but today I went to update the BIOS and change the boot timings and it came up with the following error:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Checking if LEgacy BIO Needs updating
Unknown or unsupported device (Zako); cannot update Legacy BIOS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for replying, but i tried, i don't seems to able to get anyway, both CTRL-D and CTRL-L i am still booting into the black screen. I tried ECS as well thinking want to boot through USB but can't
P/S : I am thinking about keyboard issue, i am not sure as i am able to use the keyboard in the SSH (running your script) and Ctrl D to boot into developer mode at the recovery screen
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/27] - lenk - 2015-04-28
Hi, I have got a Asus Chromebox. Did the prep.
Ran the script, and selected 1 for dualboot chromeos and openelec. This error keeps throwing up and drops me back to main menu.
./cbox-functions.sh : line xxx : chrOpenElec : command not found.
The error shows really quickly, this is what I saw. I tried ubuntu dualboot, same error but with chrUbuntu. Tried updating seabios, says my version is not supported (panther)
Any idea what is going on?

since you say the keyboard worked prior for getting into developer mode, then you're not hitting CTRL-D early enough (might need to do it before the screen turns on, depending on how long your display takes to sync). CTRL-L takes you exactly where you are (legacy boot) and ESC will do nothing since the stock legacy BIOS is broken and doesn't recognize keyboard input. Just power on and immediately hit CTRL-D repeatedly and you should get it.

Thanks Matt, script works now.
I got another error.
Did the repartition, rebooted. rerun script. Choose 1 again.
after downloading syslinux, I get
/tmp/system/ is device /dev/sda6
mount /dev/sda2 is already mounted or /tmp/boot busy
/dev/sda2 is already mounted on /tmp/boot
Error: failed to mount boot partition; reboot and try again.
Rebooted and tried again. No Luck.
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/27] - Matt Devo - 2015-04-28
ok, should be fixed.
RE: Asus/HP/Acer/Dell ChromeBox EZ Setup (OpenELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2015/04/27] - lenk - 2015-04-28

I'm re-verifying Ubuntu dual-boot now, OE is verified and should be fine. Sorry for the inconvenience

Hi guys,
i am currently comming of a Android Orbsmart S82 Amlogic S802 Box...
i was thinking bout switching to a google nexus player but now i read that a chromebox gives a very nice kodi expirience and so i guess i wanted to try this instead.
It is important to say that i have no linux expirience at all but still just orderd an asus chromebox.
I hope you guys will help me get through the setup... I want to use it as a singleboot straight to kodi machine.... any easy tuts would be helpfull.
Greetz from Germany and thanks in advance for any help
