Hi Tim, I'd first see if you can build an image with a stock configuration before you introduce any changes. I'd create a yum repo containing the rpm on the building box, next introduce that yum repo into olpc-os-builder with an entry in the [repos] section of the .ini file. ie:

Using bootfw.zip from a USB drive will only work for secure laptops, or unsecure laptops with the X key held down. This is coded in the firmware. Since you must use unsecure laptops, because of your customiser, this code is skipped. Using bootfw.zip on internal storage will work in the same

Think your best bet is to install tuxpaint via yum(yum.cmd - install tuxpaint) and in asroot use rpm -Uvh path/to/fw/rpm (installs to /boot/) to upgrade the firmware and do any path adjustments or renaming at the same time. You could just use rpm commands in asroot also. Jerry - Original

Yeah, I can see how you might think the .zip file is the same as the .rom file, since they have the same version of firmware. They are different packaging of the firmware. The bootfw.zip contains within it a file data.img which was renamed from q2f19.rom, and a file data.sig which is the
