Still not having success with SM P4DPE

to simplify this I'm going to just show you my files, which work. I just
built a linuxbios yesterday that worked fine on the P4DPE-G2.
my romimage sizes for this are 64K and (512k-64k)
Note that fallback size is 40K which with the 24k etherbooth gives you
64k.
I think your normal file has a typo on the rom image size.
