@Andrew have you updated the grub after edit? May sound obvious but to me, as a noob, i just realized after a while that i MUST (as seen on the grub itslef, first line: "# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update") give in terminal
sudo update-grub So here (chromebook 14 singleboot with Ubuntu 14.04 kernel 3.17) editing grub worked perfectly.

Ubuntu gets stuck at "Switched to clocksource tsc" for a almost 1 minute or longer, then it resumes booting up to the login screen. On Ubuntu 13.10 it only takes about 7 seconds to get to the login screen, while it takes almost more than a minute to get on the login screen on Ubuntu 14.04 Beta 2. I hope this issue could be fixed. I have the Acer C720 (chromebook) that has been enabled to use legacy boot so I can use other OS's. Other Acer C720 users have been faceing the same problem also.
