#CHROMEBIT ARCH LINUX INSTALL#
Install linux-armv7 packages, replacing the linux-peach package:. If you are still using the ChromeOS 3.8 kernel (linux-peach), you can switch to mainline two different ways: The installation above will use the mainline kernel. Pacman-key -populate archlinuxarm Mainline Kernel Initialize the pacman keyring and populate the Arch Linux ARM package signing keys:. After logging in as root (password is "root"), you can connect to a wireless network by running: wifi-menu. At the splash screen, instead of pressing Ctrl-D to go to ChromeOS, press Ctrl-U to boot to the external drive. Flash the kernel to the kernel partition:ĭd if=root/boot/vmlinux.kpart of=/dev/sda1. Tell the system to refresh what it knows about the disk partitions:. Replace the xxxxx string in the following command with that number to create the root partition:Ĭgpt add -i 2 -t data -b 40960 -s `expr xxxxx - 40960` -l Root /dev/sda. Look for the number under the start column for Sec GPT table which is 15633375 in this example: To create the rootfs partition, we first need to calculate how big to make the partition using information from cgpt show. Write the partition table and exit by typing w.Ĭgpt add -i 1 -t kernel -b 8192 -s 32768 -l Kernel -S 1 -T 5 -P 10 /dev/sda. This will create a new empty GPT partition table. Start fdisk to create a GPT partition table:. Since ChromeOS will automatically mount any partitions it finds, unmount everything now:. Get a root shell as described in the previous section. For an SD card, click here to magically adjust the instructions for the mmcblk1 device that an SD card will register as. These instructions are written for installing to a USB drive with the sda device, assuming no other USB drives are plugged in. Reboot the system to allow the change to take effect. 
Then type this to enable USB booting: crossystem dev_boot_usb=1 dev_boot_signed_only=0.After booting into developer mode, hold Ctrl and Alt and poke the T key.Note: After enabling developer mode, you will need to press Ctrl-D each time you boot, or wait 30 seconds to continue booting.
Confirm switching to developer mode by pressing enter, and the laptop will reboot and reset the system.At the Recovery screen press Ctrl-D (there's no prompt - you have to know to do it).To invoke Recovery mode, you hold down the ESC and Refresh keys and poke the Power button.You must be running the latest ChromeOS prior to installation.This is the recommended setup for those that just want to take a test drive, or don't want to give up ChromeOS. No changes are made to the internal eMMC drive, and your new Arch Linux ARM install will run completely from external storage. These instructions will create a dual-booting environment where you can switch between booting Arch Linux ARM and the stock ChromeOS.
