i originally wanted a standalone ubuntu setup and went through all the steps before rebooting, then decided i wanted a dual boot chromeos + ubuntu setup. so i went back and selected that option and then rebooted. now it just hangs on 'booting from kernel' if i don't press esc, or the above if i press esc on time. i've tried to restore the stock firmware as well as using an openelec image on a usb stick. but nothing worked.
you broke it good - real good. Your best bet is going to be booting from a ChromiumOS USB stick, but I can't guarantee even that will work since you botched the firmware by doing a dual boot install after a standalone install. If you are able to boot a ChromiumOS USB, then you can restore the stock firmware from there using the instructions in the wiki -- You can't do it from OpenELEC.
If that doesn't work, PM me for help or hit me up on the OpenELEC IRC channel
