I've followed the instructions here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F19/Remixes#Samsung_2012_Chromebook twice, with a SD card and an external USB 3.0 hard disk. To cut a long story short, SD card works fine, but USB hard disk just beeps and fails to boot. The USB hard disk is brand new, from a reputable supplier, and works on other machines. It even works fine on the Chromebook once it has been booted into ChromeOS. Here is the partition table: # cgpt show /dev/sda start size part contents 0 1 PMBR 1 1 Pri GPT header 2 32 Pri GPT table 8192 49152 1 Label: "KERN-A" Type: ChromeOS kernel UUID: A72A42D4-C4C1-E64A-A85E-446375AB233C Attr: priority=15 tries=5 successful=1 57344 49152 2 Label: "KERN-B" Type: ChromeOS kernel UUID: AF3C10D0-1A48-A343-B6E5-7B1B80331FA0 Attr: priority=5 tries=1 successful=1 106496 614400 3 Label: "BOOT" Type: 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 UUID: 721969A8-F939-4A85-A530-2A7B950B26D4 720896 1024000 4 Label: "SWAP" Type: 0657FD6D-A4AB-43C4-84E5-0933C84B4F4F UUID: 8B98A2A8-BE2C-4290-B8FA-813EB7E5819A 1744896 1951759759 5 Label: "ROOTFS" Type: 0FC63DAF-8483-4772-8E79-3D69D8477DE4 UUID: 6EA48ABF-DCB8-4DF1-B9EC-7B9CC0725B2D 1953504655 32 Sec GPT table 1953504687 1 Sec GPT header I can't find any documentation that says that the Chromebook definitively cannot boot from USB 3.0 or from external HDDs. (Also it doesn't work when the same disk is plugged into the USB 2 port). Any ideas? I'd really like to eliminate dodgy flash cards from my life.
