 Hi,
 
 I have the same computer (Chromebook HP 14). I succeed running netbsd 6 & 7
 (i386) on it with a lot of debugging.
 Without PAE option in kernel config, i don't know why but the 4GB of ram
 were not detected. This was causing a lot of crashs.
 Trying to enable PAE might be a good test (and disable acpicpu to try).
