Hi,
Is QEMU still shipping images limited to 128KiB? If so, that would be another restriction.
Ah, right, maybe that was the reason.
Yes, there still is a 128k variant, for backward compatibility with qemu version 1.7 & older.
Backward compatibility support for qemu version 1.3 & older has been removed already, so it could very well be that this will be deprecated and removed too soonish, but for now it is needed still.
I guess that implies a config option is a good idea, so we can use different sizes for the 128k and the 256k version.
take care, Gerd
