A set of things you can try to narrow down the problem:
/path/to/chroot/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static --help
# if this doesn't work you haven't installed the right QEMU into
# your chroot
sudo chroot /path/to/chroot /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static --help
# if this doesn't work then your allegedly static QEMU
# isn't actually statically linked
/path/to/chroot/usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /path/to/chroot/bin/ls
# this *should* fail with "/lib/ld-linux.so.3: No such file or directory"
# or similar, indicating we read the executable but couldn't find
# the dynamic linker. If this fails then maybe your chroot doesn't
# have ARM binaries in it...
sudo chroot /path/to/chroot /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /bin/ls
# this should work and list the files in the chroot directory.
# if it doesn't work then likely your chroot is wrongly set up
sudo chroot /path/to/chroot /bin/ls
# if this fails but the previous command worked, then your binfmt-misc
# registration is broken.
thanks
