I have an Acer C720P. When I tried the amd64 installer via USB and it just rebooted the BIOS. I was able to run the i386 installer, pull amd64 kernel image and boot it from the built in flash drive. The johnlewis.ie FAQs say try another distro or mem=some_value. The i386 Debian userland is now running fine.
I had installed John Lewis' option: > 1. Modify my Chromebook's ROM to run SeaBIOS exclusively > (and get rid of the scary screen). I used debian-8.1.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso installer from HD media. The mbr-syslinux HD media image I made had both the amd64 and i386 versions of vmlinuz and initrd.gz in an MeS-DoS volume. I renamed the i386 versions vmlinuz32 initrd32.gz. I booted those looked for the ISO and it worked. Had SeaBIOS-mbr-syslinux and something went wrong with amd64 USB boot. I also tried flashing the amd64 boot.img.gz to whole USB device and it also did not work. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
