Thanks for the reply! I tried out what you said but I had no success with copying the zImage to the boot partition. I git cloned the official bearbox repo and tried different tagged releases and I noticed that the last version that appear to work on my rpi2 is v2017.03.0 and the versions afterwards appear to be broken (I haven't tried them all yet but I am guessing none of them work on rpi2)..
