Hi,

yes do you remember our session with Dirk :) 64M seems to be a must have.
If you like to give it a test with another size check the code in

   /usr/share/kiwi/modules/KIWIBoot.pm:__getBootSize

   ...
   # on arm it's required to have a maximum of 64MB for the boot part
   if ($arch =~ /arm/) {
      $gotMB = 64;
   }

I would love to get rid of this but so far it seems required

I added a patch to kiwi which only leaves the uboot variant on /boot
commit: 0387c5660cf82d734d6650475bec19e681142e81 from master

Hope this helps
