Hi Jon, I don't know how you have things set up for uboot and the kernel. One of the problems that I found when setting up to use nv-uboot on the sd card is the uboot is looking for partition 12 (0xc) for the uboot/uboot.scr.uimg, which probably doesn't exist on the card. I found after careful reading of the following URL that I needed to adjust $script_part to point to the proper partition EFI-SYSTEM: http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/u-boot-porting-guide/using-nv-u-boot-on-the-samsung-arm-chromebook That should at least allow you to set the variable more easily even if the saveenv isn't working on uboot. There are also two different versions of nv_uboot for chrome book. From what I have read upstream kernels need to use the one that supports the simple frame buffer and that the support for the simple framebuffer needs to be enabled in the kernel. -Will > > On Sat, Aug 10, 2013 at 10:12 PM, Jonathan Masters <j...@redhat.com> wrote: >> I'll try this out. >> >> -- >> Sent from my iPad >> >> On Aug 7, 2013, at 12:02, Jon <jdisn...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> There is a HYP enabled u-boot floating around. >>> >>> http://www.virtualopensystems.com/media/chromebook/nv_u-boot-snow.kpart >>> >>> So far I've been unable to get it to boot Fedora, but others are welcome to >>> try. >>> >>> Here is the git for the above: >>> https://github.com/virtualopensystems/u-boot >>> >>> They also have some documentation: >>> https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/pipermail/kvmarm/2013-July/006481.html >>> >>> Regards, >>> >>> -Jon Disnard >>> fas: parasense >>> irc: masta >>> >>> On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 10:51 AM, Peter Robinson <pbrobin...@gmail.com> >>> wrote: >>>> On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 4:47 PM, Adam Goode <a...@spicenitz.org> wrote: >>>>> Was there ever a resolution to this?
