I don't think we need to bother, the current state is now vastly
improved, and I take Phytium as a "bonus".

The ``bad block bitmap checksum'' relating to /dev/sda2, followed by
``Remounting filesystem read-only'' seems to be the source of your
problem.

After that point nothing's going to work because your new root
filesystem (/target/) is faulty, and is now read-only, so there's no way
to create the /target/boot directory, so the mount of the boot partition
fails.

My guess would be an underlying hardware fault on whatever /dev/sda2 is.

I don't suppose there's any chance it's a fake USB stick - see:

  http://oss.digirati.com.br/f3/  (packaged for Debian as ``f3'')

Cheers, Phil.

It looks like /dev/sd5 doesn't actually exist.  This is probably because the 
USB stick has an MBR partition table which by default only provides partitions 
1-4.  You may need to pre-partition it with a GUID partition table.

Good call. After using Windows' diskpart*, I removed the MBR and 
converted to GPT. The installer went one step further… and failed:

Indeed, I noticed it too after sending the mail. Sorry, I don't know
what's going on there. Probably need somebody from Arm.com to add their
2c.
