[Solved] - ChromeOS Flex - Framework 13, 11th Gen

Curious if anyone has succesfully installed ChromeOS Flex on a Framework 13, 11th gen model.

Everything installed ok for me but I am noticing that the machine doesn’t find internal storage when waking from deep sleep. I get an error that it can’t find a bootable device. I can get the machine to boot if I cycle the power button, but its booting fresh and not waking from sleep state.

Curious if anyone else has run into this?

Things I have tried:

  • boot a linux livecd and inspect partitions with FDISK. I noticed Chromeos creates 12 partitions. (Interesting… not certain its relevant). I greated a blank disk and fresh gpt map…and that didn’t work
  • secure boot is off.
  • Going to try a different vendor of SSD from another machine in the house. Crucial vs Western Digital

I just wanted to reply to the thread that swapping out the SSD from a Crucial P5 to a Western Digital SN750 solved the problem. I can succesfully wake from deep sleep.

Documenting for the benefit of the community in case they run into something similar.
