There are some notes on the steps that I used to get it running at: http://people.redhat.com/wcohen/chromebook/booting-3.11kernel.txt The config file is a bit different than the fc20 kernel configuration. I started from the "make exynos_defconfig" and working towards something that is closer to the fc20 configuration. There are a couple drawbacks with this configuration. The usb3 and wireless are not working in the configuration. Also cool things like KVM virtualization are not working. I was hoping to get the kernel to configure to support multiple ARM processors, but it looks like some patches will be needed to allow the ARCH_EXYNOS to be selected with ARCH_MULTI. Right now it looks like they are exclusive. The ARCH_EXYNOS also selects NEED_MACH_MEMORY_H which looks like there might be some arch specific includes as a result. ===== - Xorg stuff: https://www.berrange.com/posts/2012/11/30/installing-fedora-17-arm-on-a-samsung-google-chromebook/ http://blogs.arm.com/software-enablement/848-running-linux-on-the-series-3-chromebook/ http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Samsung_Chromebook_2012 http://people.redhat.com/wcohen/chromebook/chrome_kernel.txt I wished that we had a srpm setup for the chromebook git kernel, then could point people at the koji build. However, need to have the uboot built for chromebook also need vboot-utils. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-arm-talks/2013-02-22/fedora_on_the_arm_based_samsung_chromebook.2013-02-22-20.01.log.html http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/how-tos-and-troubleshooting/using-nv-u-boot-on-the-samsung-arm-chromebook http://craigerrington.com/blog/installing-arch-linux-with-xfce-on-the-samsung-arm-chromebook/ http://craigerrington.com/chrome/x_alarm_chrubuntu.zip
