Re: Chroot into an arm system

There are dedicated forums for Arch ARM:

http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/

Besides that, it would seem obvious to me that you can't chroot from an x86 into an ARM system, since they are completely different archtectures.

No.  You need to be  able to execute the executable binaries inside the chroot.

As has been pointed out, please ask on the Arm forums.
