hi Chris,

Easy answer : different arm processors :)

Our wiki page
(https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/AltArch/armhfp) points
back also to wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture)
and that page has the info you want/need

But in (really) short summary :
rpi1 = armv6
rpi2 and later = armv7 (aka armhfp)

While I initially tried to recompile some pkgs for armv6, it was really
a nightmare and I had no time to do that (single rpi1 board)

But if you want something really close, that you can run on rpi1, Jacco
(also on the list) did a great job for redsleeve linux (even compiled
for armv5tel in fact) so it will run on the rpi1  ;-)
