Archlinux on samsung chromebook

[kw3t450]

Hi, I want to install archlinux on my samsung chromebook but I can't get past this step :

Get a root shell as described in the previous section.
Since ChromeOS will automatically mount any partitions it finds, unmount everything now:
umount /dev/mmcblk1*
Create a new disk label for GPT. Type y when prompted after running:
partx -t gpt -u /dev/mmcblk1

It says that the device is unmounted and when I try to create the disk label it cant read the partition table. Nothing works after that. What should I do?

There his a handy dandy command you missed.

Try this guy's script. http://blog.omgmog.net/post/installing-arch-linux-arm-on-the-hp-chromebook-11/. You just have to alter the bootloader part. And keep this post in mind: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=60&t=8024

Scripts/etc/etc outside of the official install instructions will not be supported.

Hi there,

I'd advise against trying to use my script on the Samsung Chromebook as it's has commands specific to the HP Chromebook 11. However, it does just mostly use the steps outlined on http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7 ... chromebook

If you're having issues with partx, check to see if you have parted/partprobe available in /usr/sbin

Hope that helps!
