OK, I achieved success at last, with help from several quarters. If you let
me know how far you've gotten, I can tell you what you need to do from that
point onward.
I think I see what the issue is now. Reading the man page for flashrom, it
says:
"Using flashrom on laptops is dangerous and may easily make your hardware
unusable (see also the BUGS section). The embedded controller (EC) in these
machines often interacts badly with flashing.
I have had that problem, let me know if you figure out how to do that. :)
I'm on this webpage: https://libreboot.org/docs/gnulinux/grub_cbfs.html, and
trying to follow these instructions:
Acquiring the correct ROM image
You can either work directly with one of the ROM images already included in
the libreboot ROM archives, or re-use the ROM that you have currently
Yeah, /boot is inaccessible if you encrypt it so it defaults back to the
onboard grub.cfg which doesn't let you boot without all the commands.
I think that the don't reflash part only applies if you didn't go with full
disk encryption. I could be wrong though.
Yes, I would consider the grub files on the disk irrelevant.
OK, I see, I was hoping the 1st option ("don't reflash") would do it, but now
I see better how things work. So I guess the grub files on the disk are
pretty much irrelevant then?
Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, that's what I followed. Unfortunately, this part is the one that's
giving me trouble:
Modify grub.cfg (CBFS)
Now you need to set it up so that the system will automatically boot, without
having to type a bunch of commands.
Modify your grub.cfg (in the
What SuperTramp83 said.
Libreboot doesn't read grub from the disk. Grub is inside libreboot. So you
need to modify your grub.cfg inside libreboot using the cbfstool. It's
easiest to flash new modified roms from inside trisquel. I'm assuming you
flashed the x200 yourself, so you don't need

I just installed Trisquel on a Librebooted X200, using full disk encryption.
After a couple of false starts, I now have it to where I can boot the system
using the following commands at the GRUB command line:
grub> cryptomount -a
grub> set root='lvm/[volume]-root'
grub> linux /vmlinuz
