The spec of my machine is this: - CPU - Celeron 1007u - 16GB SSD - 2 GB RAM (rest as per the above page) I modified the boot rom to have coreboot + seabios payload so that I can install a non-chromeos system. It used to happily run Debian but was locking up occasionally. Perhaps it has a bad RAM or a faulty DDR initialization in the coreboot.
