Many people would like to run a regular upstream kernel on the Samsung
ARM chromebook.  This is an outline of the steps taken to get this
running.  You will probably need the following items because usb3 port
and wireless are not working:
 
a powered usb-2.0 hub
a usb-to-ethernet dongle
 an external drive

1) Create a sdcard with a fedora 19 image on it following the instructions on

http://parasense.fedorapeople.org/HOWTO.html

2) Boot up the sd card on the chomebook and configure for netork connection

3) Install additional packages:
   sudo yum install "@Fedora packager" "@C Development Tools and Libraries" git -y
   sudo yum-builddep kernel -y

4) Attach and Mount the external drive and change to a directory on there

5) Get the upstream kernel:
   git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git

6) Configure and build the kernel
   
   cd linux
   wget http://people.redhat.com/wcohen/chromebook/config-exynos-20130827good
   cp config-exynos-20130816better .config
   make oldconfig
   make -j4
   make uImage exynos525-snow.dtb

7) install the kernel:
   sudo make modules_install install
   sudo cp arch/arm/boot/uImage  arch/arm/boot/uImage arch/arm/boot/dts/exynos5250-snow.dtb /boot/.

8) Get the nv-uboot described in 
   http://www.virtualopensystems.com/media/chromebook/chromebook.pdf

   wget http://www.virtualopensystems.com/media/chromebook/nv_u-boot-snow.kpart

9) Install the uboot (MAKE SURE correct partition)

   sudo dd if=nv_u-boot-snow.kpart of=/dev/mmcblk1p1

10)  Assuming that everything is good you should be able to reboot the machine into u-boot.

11) control-u to boot off the sdcard and then hit the space bar to
interrupt the boot

12) The command bootargs environment variable is not correct need to
set it withto the correct root, /dev/mmcblk1p5:

setenv bootargs console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk1p5 rw rootwait clk_ignore_unused --no-log
saveenv


13) start the boot:

    run boot_noinitrd

14) It takes a on an order of a minute for the kernel to starting
printing stuff so be patient.

15) success :)
