Hello, I am hoping to figure out what error I am causing when trying to dual boot my Asus CX5 with Linux mint debian edition. I followed all of the steps from mrchromebox and chrultrabooks pages, and currently have everything working except one thing, the chrome OS.
I can boot into EDK2 and linux runs perfectly, absolutley no issues there, but if i try to boot up my chrome OS it says chrome is attempting to fix itself for about 2 seconds the goes blank and returns to the previous screen asking if I want to load from internal storage, external storage, or additional bootloader.
I did a lot of research, read through reddit’s page, and here, and haven’t seen anyone else post about it that I could find. Any help would be amazing!
I am using RW_Legacy, ASUS CX5 with Delbin and tigerlake if that helps. Also, I did create my own partitions, these maybe overkill but im still learning,
internal drive
2gb - /boot/efi
4gb - swap partition
70gb - / (root partition)
external drive
1tb - /home
How did you partition the internal drive?
I used gparted and manually created the partitions, I created the boot/efi partition first as I saw some saying that can cause issues. The boot/efi is I believe FAT32, and the / root, and /home partitions are ext4, swap is set to swap. I had 110gb open on the internal hard drive so I unmounted that partition and remade all of them off that except the /home which I have on a 1tb hard drive.
I got to the same point on my first install, the only difference was the /home I had mounted on the internal, but got the same effects with chromeos.
So you removed all of the ChromeOS partitions in the process?
That would explain why you can no longer boot ChromeOS.
no I left the chromeos partitions in place and repartitioned the remaining portion of the hard drive for the linux system
I don’t know what you mean. Which partition did you resize?
You need to use GitHub - chrultrabook/crap: ChromeOS Automated Partitioning to shrink partition 1 before making new partitions in the free space created.
