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

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?

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.

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
