Attempting Step 2 in Updated Installation Guide crashes my chromebook (Solved)

Please paste the output of the following command here: sudo edit-chroot -all
Please describe your issue:
As stated above, I am able to make crouton executable (as the first step has me do), but the moment I attempt to install a distro as the second step suggests, my chromebook restarts.
I own a HP Chromebook 14 inch 14a-ne0000.
If known, describe the steps to reproduce the issue:
Turn on developer mode and switch to VT-2.
After that, do step 1,
after that install a distro (sudo CROUTON_BRANCH=silence crouton -r focal -t xfce)
If there's any other info you need, I'll provide.
Thank you for your time.
Same issue here, but with a Lenovo 100e Chromebook

I'm not an expert, and this sounds really strange. When does your Chromebook reboot? Immediately, or after the install, or during the install?
@CroutonIsFun It happens immediately. The second I hit enter, my chromebook reboots. I tried it several times, just to make sure.
I'm not getting these same results. I'm confused as to how running a script could cause a problem. What sorts of add-ons are you running in the browser?
Greetings,
This might be ChromiumOS 126.0.x specific.
I also experienced this issue after updated to 126 series (with some security enhanced?)
Anyway crouton and/or enter-chroot scripts would be blocked by OS-side, then it forces to reboot the machine without any core dumped. These behaviors look quite similar to the case that we've seen "Electron-based apps and wine apps on the crouton system are segfault-ed and rebooting machines". Long story short, there's no way to install crouton to ChromiumOS 126.0.xxxxx until some tricks are landed on the crouton scripts...
Cheers
Damn man.
Alright, that's fair enough.
Also, while I'm not sure if the add-ons were the issue, I did have several unneeded ones so I was able to reduce the memory.
Thanks everyone :)
