Hello!

I made a mistake and updated my chromebox with the raspberry file, and now I have an "invalid argument" error when rebooting. Please help. Thank you.

Create a new install USB. Connect a USB keyboard. Boot the box from the installer USB and type 'run' or 'live' which will boot LE from the USB in a live mode. Once into LE, enable SSH and login to mount the first internal storage partition and copy over the KERNEL and SYSTEM files from the installer USB. Unmount, power off, remove the USB, power on. The box should boot up correctly now.

NB: I assume you updated from a very old LE release or OpenELEC. Once you're on LE 8.0 or newer you won't be able to repeat the same mistake because the update routine detects incompatible images and aborts the update process.
