$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('relghuar', 'W')ell, I've managed to get arch running, mostly without problems. It's using original chromeos kernel, modules and firmware, everything else comes from http://us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/os/od ... idx.img.gz (armv7h architecture). I'm booting it from 16GB usb stick.
Experience so far is not that bad:
X windows is running with xfce4 on an fbdev driver with no acceleration (I'm working to get xf86-video-armsoc from git.chromium.org built on latest X, though I'm not sure if it helps performace that much http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vzmckw3fAQo).
Wifi connection is stable (NetworkManager with nm-applet).
Touchpad more or less working, not as smooth as in chrome, but after a little acceleration/sensitivity tweaking it's pretty comfortable, double-touch scrolling works.
Keyboard without home/end/pgup/pgdn was a p.i.t.a., I had to use xmodmap to remap AltGr-arrows and backspace.
Single-button touchpad is even worse, haven't yet figured out how to map anything to right-click (two-fingers-click not working, mouseemu doesn't pass the events correctly to virtual device, I have yet to test custom xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf settings from the link above).

I tried following the steps on http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/samsung-chromebook but chrome os gets hung up on the zcat command and will eventually just turn off. Please help

xzcat ? It takes quite a while.

It's really a shame that I can't get Arch to work on this thing. I actually have it running through a chroot in crosh, but I wanted it to have its own gui. Guess it's time to go back to Chrubuntu...

You can always dd the card in another linux machine.
