Summary
Batocera v41/v42 may fail to boot because the raw image is too small for GPT header relocation and partition expansion during first-boot. The distribution's installer attempts to resize partitions which can cause GPT errors if there's insufficient headroom.
Changes
Why this works
Providing a larger sparse image gives the GPT and partitioning tools room to relocate headers and expand partitions without corrupting the GPT layout. Using a sparse resize keeps the downloaded image small on disk until space is actually used by the guest.
