I'm having the same problem on my ASUS Chromebox CN60 (haswell). When switching from Kodi to Chrome OS the system
will start the self repairing process every time. This also happens after booting a usb drive.

Don't understand why, because there were no changes made to the ssds partition sizes.

Tried a full system recovery and reinstalled rw_legacy firmware but had no success.

Chrome OS itself runs fine and I don't want to get rid of it. :-)

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Not sure if this is the right thread to post the question in or if it's a LibreELEC issue, but:

I'm trying to reinstall LibreELEC 8.2.5 on my Asus Chromebox (which is set for dual boot) from USB because my system partition is too small to upgrade to LE8.90 and yada yada.

Anyway, when SeaBIOS screen comes up and I hit ESC, I get the option to pick to boot from USB (and the USB device is recognized).

When I press 2 and wait for installer to start, it simply reboots and goes back to the Developer screen then SeaBIOS boot menu again.  If I don't do anything, of course it boots into Kodi.

I'm obviously doing something wrong... Any ideas what the issue might be?

UPDATE: Figured out that since its dual boot the usb installer wasn’t working with an out of date bios, so I just redid the EZ script and reinstalled 8.2.5.

But it didn’t apparently change the system partition, so the LE GUI still couldn’t install 8.90.x for the same reason (says it needs at lease 512M).

So I reran the EZ script and it couldn’t install 8.90 either, says not enough space.

I’ve got 8G allocated to LE. Is that not enough anymore? Must I convert over to Standalone so as to get all 16 gigs?

So I might have overlooked something: So I need to wipe the thing back to out-of-the-box condition and install from scratch to get the partitions resized? I haven’t done that. In its current state, I could reinstall 8.2.5 fine, but 8.90 doesn’t install due to not enough space.

Pay more attention to the command syntax. You should use "-L"

I'm sure this has been answered somewhere in this thread and I just can't find it but how do I get a box to not try and boot from a connected hard drive? This wasn't an issue with the old external drive but I picked up a new much larger drive and now I have to disconnect it every time I reboot!

Thanks

Not sure where the problem lies.  Is there a way for me to test the Ethernet connection into this box?  Any words of wisdom otherwise?

Thanks and apologies for thread crapping if it's not hardware related.

 there's a bug with the 4.19 (and newer) kernels that kills SMB performance over ethernet on Haswell Chromeboxes (and others?), I've been working with the LE team on it, but seems like an upstream kernel issue.  Not sure if specific to the RT81xx chip or what. I don't have any suggestions other than to use wireless, or maybe try a USB3-ethernet adapter if wifi performance is insufficient
