Out of curiosity, why did you choose 3.14.1 as the kernel? There is 3.14.12 or even 3.15.5.
Also, the XBMC that the script pulls is now 13.1 in case you would like to update the first post.
The dual-boot functionality of the script should work for any Haswell-based ChromeOS device, so you're all set there.
OpenELEC will work fine, just set it to software decoding and enable multi-threaded decoding.
3.14.1 was/is used for Ubuntu dual boot since 1) it was the most current available when I put this together initially, and 2) someone was nice enough to compile the MCE remote patch for it. Honestly, Fedora runs better than Ubuntu on the ChromeBox anyway, Ubuntu is just a remnant from when ChromeOS was Ubuntu-based, and dual booting still used the ChromeOS kernel. If someone cares to update the script to use a newer kernel, I'll gladly integrated it, but it's not where I'm spending my time these days.
OpenELEC will use whatever kernel version they are currently using on their stable release, which is currently 3.14.11.
