I would like to dual boot chrome OS and Arch linux. I have completed the device preparation i.e. removed write protect screw, put my device into developer mode, ran the first stage of EZ setup script. I have selected option 1 to dual boot ubuntu. This is what the generic linux instructions advise. Now I do have arch linux image written to an USB key, I can see its boot however it can't fully load. I am not able to copy and paste the output however it prints a lot of kernel modules and it won't continue booting.
Do I need to redo the setup selecting open elec and then try to boot arch linux again or is there something else I can do in order to successfully boot install image of arch linux?
I am connecting my Chromebox into an older Grundig TV.
no, you're on the right path. If you didn't boot ChromeOS after running the first stage of the dual boot setup, you need to do that, since that's what actually resizes the partitions. Then, re-run the EZ setup script and update the legacy BIOS. Finally, reboot into legacy mode and install arch using the instructions on their wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chr..._Chrome_OS. You can skip the part where you run the ChrUbuntu script to repartition since my script does the same thing.
