I've tested this on a drive that had the "USB Mass Storage request failed" bug. Now it works perfectly. I've also tested Trisquel Mini ISO. The "parse" options also boot that (directly from GRUB, without seabios), without having to type any commands. When selecting "Parse" it switches to a

To view serial output, connect the null modem cable to the dock and connect the other end via the USB serial adapter, to your other machine. On that other machine, there are several ways to monitor serial output. The way I use is: sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 (if you don't have GNU Screen:

chainloader will not work as this requires a bios* (this is why it is necessary to boot a kernel and ramdisk directly). *the gluglug x60 uses GRUB2 payload instead of SeaBIOS.

When the CPU is idle, it runs at a lower speed. There is a bug in coreboot that the motherboard makes a high pitched whine under this scenario. A workaround is to disable CPU throttling (the CPU then runs always at full speed). This has the effect of reducing battery life. Also, the backlight

You can boot USB in GRUB2 but you have to directly boot the kernel/ramdisk. Some example entries are in the menu. There is a newer version of GRUB available that can parse the SYSLINUX menu (isolinux.cfg) of most ISO's and automatically create GRUB menu entries. I plan on issuing an updated c

When booting with SeaBIOS, your distro's grub config is used. In Trisquel, you can add "idle=halt" option to /etc/default/grub on the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT= variable and then run "update-grub" command as root.

You can boot with USB. Not all drives work currently (GRUB2 USB mass storage support is incomplete). This is a common issue that will hopefully be addressed in the near future. The ones I have and recommend: Kingston DT101 G2 (8GB). There are others but this is what I have. (they work flawles

Example (USB): linux (usb0)/vmlinuz idle=halt initrd (usb0)/initrd.gz boot Or CD (on the dock): linux (ata0)/vmlinuz idle=halt initrd (ata0)/initrd.gz boot idle=halt turns off CPU throttling, which removes the whining noise. This is a workaround for a bug in the way coreboot handles power
