Anyone got any luck getting El Capitan booting on a Chromebook.

 

I am so close, as C720P is a Haswell, and Chameleon has a patch for it.

 

It goes through the boot process up to ID 'ing the hard disk and gets stuck at seeking for root device :(

 

It's a good USB install as I can get it to work on other PC's

 

I tried to inject this

 

<key>Default Partition</key>
<string>hd(x,y)</string>
 
with no luck either.

Commenting further -

 

I am trying to get it to work from a USB.

 

Windows 8.1 and 10 can do so, so theoretically it should work with this Haswell Chromebook.

 

I singled out that it is an USB issue for El Capitan as the Hard Disk is USB but also that it chokes on

 

Still waiting for root device

 

instead of:

 

USBMC identifier (non unique), etc.

 

Any ideas to move on from this?

 

I have the DSDT for the CB, if it can help?
