I can't answer this specifically, but I recall that ARM processors are sometimes special, special as in a pain in the ass.
While trying to install linux on my ARM Chromebook, there was a whole separate guide for that type of processor instead of the one-size-fits-all non-ARM processor Chromebooks. Even with the guide I could not get it to work successfully. My experience may not be relevant, but I wanted to share just in case.
