I see the CB3-131 is on the GalliumOS hardware compatibility list (https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility) now, under Intel Bay Trail, and supposedly works with ChromeOS as a dual boot option. However, the installation guide (https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing) links to https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing/Preparing https://wiki.galliumos.org/Installing/Preparing as a first step, which says "On Bay Trail Chromebooks, you will have to flash your firmware. Luckily, John Lewis' script makes it a very straight forward process. Unfortuantely, you'll have to open up your Chromebook. Also note that after completing this process, you will no longer be able to run Chrome OS on your Chromebook, so no dualbooting for this one I'm afraid."
This contradicts the entry in the HCL. Is this true? Were you able to get your CB3-131 to dual boot?
- adwhit 11y agoI did not try to dual-boot, I just flashed the BIOS and nuked the hard drive as per the instructions (which were clear and accurate). From the links you provide, it seems there may be a way to use chrx to get dual boot working. Perhaps ask on the reddit? [0] Honestly though, the limited hard drive space is better given to Linux than ChromeOs. [0] https://www.reddit.com/r/galliumos/ https://www.reddit.com/r/galliumos/
- rollinDyno 11y agoPlease share the link to these instructions. Specifically for hard drive nuking. I installed Arch Linux on my CB3-111 last night and am using an external USB drive while I figure out how to wipe the internal disk clean.
- anonbanker 11y agoonce you've diabled write protection (often just a screw), fdisk/cfdisk/parted will wipe the drive.

- reynhout 11y agoDual-boot on Bay Trail is a very recent development and not all of the docs have been updated yet. https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility is correct. https://wiki.galliumos.org/Firmware https://wiki.galliumos.org/Firmware and https://chrx.org/ https://chrx.org/ have more detailed information.
