So I followed the Mr chromebox guide for running the rw legacy script on my Acer CB315-4(H) but I cannot get any Linux distro to successfully boot. I’ve tried Linux mint, Ubuntu, PopOS, Fedora and a couple others but each time I get an error that says “boot from sd failed, verify it contains a 64bit uefi os”. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated, I’ll drop a photo below of the error
how are you writing the ISO to your SD card?
Hi sorry for the late reply, I ended up figuring it out, I guess booting from an SD card doesn’t work (or at least not for me). I tried all the above listed OSes on a USB stick and was able to boot into them just fine. Then as a sanity check I tried them on an SD card still to no avail. I even tried booting the Chromebook into the “bios” menu and waiting until I was at the boot options to plug in the SD, but doing this would freeze the Chromebook even though plugging in the USB stick at this same screen worked just fine.
To answer your question I was writing the ISO to the SD card with the ChromeOS Recovery Utility extension, just in case anyone stumbles across this post in the future
BTW thanks for all you do, you’re awesome
