Sorry if I am posting to the wrong list.

I am trying to install Fedora on my Acer C720 Chromebook. Rawhide, F22,
and F21 .iso's written to a usb drive via dd will not get past the grub
splash screen. I've tried changing the boot parameters, to no avail.

The C720 currently has a working Xubuntu install on it, so I know I have
set the machine's bios up properly. I have been able to find this
information regarding a possible syslinux issue;

I also posted some of the information in this reddit thread;

I am currently trying to install with a Fedora 20 image using these
instructions;

There are reports for various Chromebooks on bugzilla;
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=chromebook so I know
that people have been able to install. I would be willing to test any
patches that can be provided, but when I tried the patch of syslinux
suggested in the syslinux mailing list, I still could not get the iso i
created with (what I thought was the patched version of syslinux) to
work.

TIA and apologies for the ramble.
