There have been recent changes in this area: 6bd17a0806 image: Do not allow BIOS bootloader and GPT. e5ed1712da image: Introduce the mbr-hybrid-raw image type. The latter changes the default image type. Before that, there was: d57cab7641 image: Add mbr-raw-image-type and use by default. I’m not sure if this could explain the problem. Ludo’.
