Summary of the Issue

So I’ve a Chromebook 14a G5 db0003na with the Careena board. I ran the utility script and have the boot menu and when I select alternate USB it’s gives a /boot/vmlinuz is missing.

I’m trying install MX Linux 25.2 and I also tried 23.6 as I get errors on both. I flashed 2 different USBs with a DD image and it’s what I have.

Any ideas where I’m going wrong here?

  1. Boot into utility script

  2. Select alternative USB

  3. Get error

Expected Behavior

Be able to install Linux from USB
