Chrome OS on Windows 8 host

[cranfan]

In order to test a website, I am trying to set up a VM for Chrome OS.

I have managed to get a vdi file from - http://chromeos.hexxeh.net - to work but it is quite old and no longer being updated.

I found an alternative source here - http://arnoldthebat.co.uk/wordpress/chromium-os/ - but it generates the following when I try to run the VM:

early console in decompress_kernel
KASLR using RDTSC...

Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... Performing relocations... done
Booting the kernel.
[ 0.000000] tsc: Fast TSC calibration failed
[ 0.216650] atkbd serio1: probe failed
[ 0.3024261 EXT4-fs (sda3): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
[ 0.711996] piix4_smbus 0000:00:07.0: SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr

Would appreciate any pointers on how to fix this. I am using a Dell Inspiron 15 3521 with 4gb of ram.

Thanks
