coreboot cbfs > incorrect bootblock size

[Arnaud Maye]

Hello,

I am trying to compile coreboot with cbfs support, everything goes well 
until it tries to create the cbfs image.

./cbfs/cbfstool ./coreboot.rom create 2097152 131072 ./coreboot.rom.bootlock
(cbfstool) E: The bootblock size is not correct (2097152 vs 131072)

131072 is 128kB and 2097152 is 2MB. These are the settings I have in my 
target's confg.lb file.

option CONFIG_ROM_IMAGE_SIZE = 128 * 1024
option CONFIG_ROM_SIZE = 2 * 1024 * 1024

Anyone knows what I am not doing or not doing correctly?

Thank you!

Arnaud

See

http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2009-June/049363.html

where Patrick explained how to convert a board to CBFS. I've used those
instructions with success before.

Thanks,
