Jessie wkly build - installer fails on acer 720 chromebook

["john.tiger" <john.tigernassau@gmail.com>]

acer 720 chromebook  in development mode seabios

debian-testing-amd64-xfce-CD-1.iso   wkly build 1/19/2015

install screen appears, click on either graphical or non-graphical 
install - screen flashes then goes back to seabios screen

1) this usb build works on macbook
2) debian wheezy installs on this machine
3) fedora 20 installs on this machine
4) fedora 21 flashes and does not work

thus sounds like something related to newer kernel or packages

suspected it neeeded a boot line such as mem=1048M but this does not 
work - tried many different mem settings, nothing worked
