Linux ChromeBox Kodi E-Z Setup Script (LibreELEC/Linux+Kodi) [2017/02/21]

First off, thank you for your contributions to this project! I'm a newb to OpenELEC/Linux/Kodi and your documentation has been amazing!

No matter how good the documentation is....leave it up to me to screw it up somehowBlush

I'm doing a standalone install on a Asus ChromeBox. I've completed these steps successfully:

•Put the ChromeBox in developer mode
•Open the ChromeBox and remove the write-protect screw
•Download/run the EZ setup script
•Select the Standalone / coreboot Install option, which will backup your stock firmware/BIOS and flash a custom one ( my ROM is 8MB titled "stock-firmware-Panther-20141207")

I got excited at that point and rebooted the ChromeBox. If I would have read 1 line further down where you said "If you're going to install OpenELEC, you should go ahead and create the install media now (option 6) before rebooting."

Now I'm stuck at the "SeaBios (version rel - 1.7.5-120-gda6347f-20141202-Matt Devo) Booting from Hard Disk..." screen.

I didn't brick this thing did I?

No - if I read what you did correctly you've got a Chromebox waiting to boot from a USB installation stick, but haven't made one yet. You can create a USB stick to solve this on any other PC, Mac etc. you have and then boot the Chromebox with the stick inserted and continue to follow Matt's instructions. Matt's script just helps you create a USB installer (and I think links to a useful version) - but you can do this separately as well. You should be able to install any generic 64 bit OpenElec build at the stage you've reached I think.

The SeaBIOS screen is telling you it is waiting to boot, but it can't as there is nothing to boot from.
