I have a HP Chromebook 14a-na0032cl.
I'm getting a ChromeOS is missing or corrupt error.
I used the ChromeOS recovery utility.
HP Chromebook 14a-na0032cl worked for two restarts then got ChromeOS is missing or corrupt error again.
When pressing tab recovery_reason: 0x5b No bootable kernel found on disk.
HP Chromebook 14a-na0032cl also take about 3 seconds to even boot to this message after pressing power.
How would the Kernel be not found when was working two restarts before?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I am able to recover following those steps.
However after recovery after restarting a couple time I'll get "ChromeOS missing or corrupt" error again.
Then have to do recovery again.
I've done this 3 times now, ChromeOS shouldn't become missing or corrupt after a simple restart.
So trying to find if there would be a reason this would keep happening.
