Any other ideas that haven't been described above? My wife is getting pissed lol.

It only seems to boot up if i have it hooked up to my ASUS 24" monitor via hdmi, if I have it hooked up to my Sony 32" television it will not show any picture or boot. My TV just reports no signal. If I plug it into my ASUS monitor it will then boot, then I simply have to plug it into my TV for it to work... which is tiresome. I've tested many other OS's with it and they all seem to have the same issue. My guess is my television isn't sending a proper signal to say hey im here, go ahead and power on! Besides that this thing is an awesome XBMC/windows/steam stream system! Any one have an opinion or maybe solution besides new tv... might just do that eventually. EDIT:: Also running DXDIAG on windows..my hp box system model reports as Panther..Thought that was the asus one...

I dont recall it asking me how much space I wanted to give to the linux os com to think about it.

if your issue was not allocating enough space, you'll need to use the recovery USB to reset the partitions to their defaults, then re-run the script. That's the only way to get it to ask you for the partition size again. I'd recommend 6-8GB

I've just bought the ASUS Chromebox and went straight to you blog to install OpenELEC, but I'm facing an issue here.
I've search this forum, several users had the same issue, but I'm not able to resolve using the suggestions given to them.

I've "Put in Developer Mode" and "Disable Firmware Write Protect" (steps 1.1 and 1.2).

My next steps:
- Used the console to download your script and used the option 1 to create the new partition (selected 9)
- After the reboot, selected again option 1 to download and install the OpenELEC.
- Selected option 3 (boot options) and option 1 (short boot / OpenELEC default)
- Reboot

Here starts the issue, I get the message:
SeaBIOS (version rel-1.7.5-10-g8e966c6-20120729-MattDevo)
Booteing from Hard Disk...

And hangs here.

I then tried again the option 1 (installed the OpenELEC again), but doesn't work.
I've also changed the boot order, but selecting CTRL + L sends me again to the same screen.

Any advise?

Thanks for your help

"1.3 Update the Legacy BIOS" ?

Can I do that using the script now or do I have to do all over again?

Thanks for the quick reply

I was looking at geekfreely blogspot ch openelec-on-asus-chromebox

My mistake, I have the 1.3 step now. Is it Ok to do the factory reset even if I have 2 partitions already?

Sorry for the confusion
