Your April email looks like you are trying to run earmv4 on the RPI2,
is this correct ?

What I did was to boot the host with whatever is the default for that
CPU.

Then run "kver ... chroot" to a full tree of the target system. That way
you are running the tools built to generate the correct ARM
architecture.

Didn't see any problems with invalid instructions, just the page size
issue for things like emacs.

Can try it again easily enough, my Cubietruck has a fast SSD, what
packages are stalling ?
