Thought I had everything set up: installed Ubuntu alongside Chrome, installed XBMC, and tried watching a show via Icefilms. Seemed to work although audio was messed up. But when I rebooted I got stuck in the black screen / booting the kernel hangup. Was finally able to restore to factory and am trying again, following each step more closely. Stuck now on making the ChromeOS backup. I run the chromeos-install command as per the wiki, and start getting messages about partitions being installed to the removable media:
Installing partition 12 to /dev/sdb
Installing partition 11 to /dev/sdb
etc. until
Installing partition 5 to /dev/sdb
then there is a very long wait, screen goes black, system reboots. Ctrl-U does not boot USB or SD card (I've tried both), but Ctrl-L followed by ESC allows me to choose 2, the removable device. But then system says booting from hard drive.
It would seem that the ChromeOS is not being completely installed on the USB stick or SD card. Suggestions?
This puzzles me, as I don't see any messages like that ('Installing partition x to /dev/sdb') when doing the backup. The ChromeBox should not reboot automatically when complete, it should instruct you to do so.

Hit Ctrl-L and ESC, and there it was listed as option 2 after the hard disk. So I chose it and got a message saying the system was booting from the hard disk. But then it actually booted from the USB and Chromium ran great on the Chromebox.
Quote: The next screen shows all of the messages that displayed after entering the the chromeos-install command. Once again, the system stopped for a long time after the message "Installing partition 5 to /dev/sdc." That's when I snapped the photo. But, this time the process continued to "Installing partition 3 to /dev/sdc." Another very long pause. Then the system rebooted, apparently before the OS was successfully copied to the SD card.
Second screen
Still open to suggestions.

(it's instant in the tv-show section.. all files coming from the same computer) I'm looking everywhere but can't find a way to fix this ! I'm running XBMC Frodo 12.3 on Ubuntu 13.10.
I can live with the overscan in the Ubuntu Desktop since that is coming from my TV but the 2 problems stated before are from XBMC :/

Why are you running 12.3 rather than 13.0 RC1?

It installed 12.3 by itself..

Use the 'unstable' repo listed there on the wiki and then reinstall, and you should get 13.0 RC
