I am trying to reinstall a full (not Crouton, not ChrUbuntu) version of Linux on my C720 Acer Chromebook.
I already have Ubuntu on there, but it's having some problems, and requires a reinstall. I already have SeaBIOS (CoreBoot).
I've created a live image on a bootable USB, and managed to start the installer on my C720. But after selecting "Install", the computer just restarts. Clarification: the live distro doesn't even boot, the installer from the USB only shows its menu.
I've tried:
- Ubuntu 14.10
- Fedora 21
What's going on? How do I boot a live OS on C720?
(The architectures are correct, x86_64)

This seems related to this bug:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135793
I'd keep an eye on that and see if they come up with any workarounds. In the meantime you could try booting Fedora 20 with mem=1024 kernel parameters and using that or try to upgrade to Fedora 21 from there with fedup.
