Samsung Chromebook CELES D25-D6E-ZGD-I4B "Chrome OS is Missing or Damaged"

[giu...@mail.gvsu.edu]

Hey guys,

I just purchased the Samsung Chromebook CELES D25-D6E-ZGD-I4B and attempted to install Linux. This was obviously not as easy as going from a windows or Mac. Here's when I press tab:

recovery_reason: 0x5b / 0x00 No bootable kernel found on disk

VbSD.flags: 0x00004c00

Dev_boot_usb: 0

dev_boot_legacy: 0

dev_boot_signed_only: 0

This is on the "Chrome OS is missing or damaged." page on startup. 

I attempted to install Linux by first going recovery mode -> developer mode -> using the terminal equivalent in chrome os. I then enabled launching a usb from non-google. I booted ubuntu 3 times and installed it every time, as I noticed that each time after erasing the disk and installing ubuntu, it was still launching into the chrome recovery. Now for some reason it will only let me boot google-approved USB and the USB recovery from the recovery tool is NOT recognized in either port.

What's my next plan of action?

it's not clear how you exactly installed or booted the device

Ctrl+D and Ctrl+U only work with CrOS formatted images.  if you installed Ubuntu directly to the harddrive, that won't work with those two flows.  only legacy boot (Ctrl+L) will be able to boot Ubuntu/etc... directly.
