Hi, I mostly don't know what I'm doing.  I have an old Asus Chromebox CN60.  Everything was cool except recently I was no longer able to launch the plex player from chrome so I've started to look for alternatives.

I'm attempting to use the E-Z setup script and everything is mostly going okay until a point.

I first put the system into dev mode.  From here I was seeing if I could boot from a USB thumb drive to Ubuntu just to see if I could stream over plex that way.  As I'm sure many here are aware the Chromebox won't let me boot from USB.  Then I discovered MrChromebox.tech.  Great!

I updated the BIOS to the MRChromebox BIOS (RW_LEGACY).  I tried Ubuntu but it was pretty slow and buggy so I started looking for alternatives.

Then I noticed the Kodi E-Z setup script and I thought this sounded like just the ticket for a guy like me

So I ran script from the command line.  I created a 4GB partition, let the repair happen and then installed LibreELEC alongside my Chrome OS.  So far everything was going fine.  But now when I boot the system and press CTRL-L I hang at boot.  The screen just shows "booting from hard disk..."  and it hangs there forever.  Chrome still boots up fine and I can see that I'm short 4 GB of storage when I check from Chrome OS.

After this I tried to install GalliumsOS/Ubuntu using the E-Z script but there is an error/warning about needing to use something else so it never installed.

At this point I did a powerwash and tried installing LibreELEC again.  I didn't expect this to matter but I figured I'd try.  Still the same thing where I press CTRL-L at boot and it hangs.

What do I need to do here?  Hopefully I've provided enough information.  I'm sure somewhere in the 100s of pages of this thread the answer is there but I haven't found it yet!  Thanks for all the hard work that some folks out there have already done just to get me to this point.

dang it forgot to add this tag:  /u/MrChromebox

I see that tag is for reddit LOL.  sorry about that.

I'd also like to add I tried to make a bootable USB drive of LibreELEC using the E-Z tool but that failed.  I can't recall the error now.
