If your stuck on a black seobios screen with the following messge:
” booting from hard drive….
loading kernel failed: no such file or directory
boot:”
This is how I fixed it.

Windows users only (much harder to do on a Mac) use a friends computer if need be, that’s what I did.

1) I download the latest OS from Openelec (download the generic diskimage file), use 7zip to extract the file to your desktop.
2) Download Opensuse image writer software to write Openelec to a usb jump drive. (4 GB minimum)
3) I inserted the usb in my Asus Chromebox and turned on the power, before the black screen of death pops up, press the escape button… you will be taken back to Openelec setup, select your drive from the list and follow the rest of the installation.
That simple, hope this helps.

Enjoy

you managed to open a shell terminal on ChromeOS and run a few commands, but doing the same from your Mac was problematic? and I'm not sure I'd characterize installing an OS as a "fix" for a computer than doesn't boot any more than putting gas in a car that won't start.

I don't know what u are talking about. I followed the directions for the easy install. That didn't work. The shell terminal your talking about (black screen) was created using the script... furthermore, you we're the one that suggested downloading a new OS from Openelec's website. As for the Mac being problematic, I was referring to the writing of the image to usb disk, which I stand by is much more difficult to do on a Mac vs. Windows.
And finally, I was just chipping in my 2 cents in hopes this might save someone many hours of frustration. All is working well here now and that was my objective.
