Error using GRUB patch (and LILO questions)

Hi everybody,

I downloaded the latest GRUB patch for the DOC2000 and also the latest
GRUB cvs. The patch installed perfectly. When I run 
"aclocal && automake && autoconf, I get the following errors:

stage1/Makefile.am:55: invalid variable

(This errors are generated by automake)> Am I doing something wrong? 

Other question:

Is somebody using the latest LILO which ?supports? DOC devices? If so,
what options must I add in lilo.conf, since I get the 
following at bootup:

L 01 01 01 01 01 01

I've been using lilo-mtd for a while and it boots the DOC with linux
ok. Only thing  is, it doen't look as if the commandline is
passed to the kernel. "cat /proc/cmdline" is empty. Does the newer LILO
versions correct this?


Thanks in advance for any help/info
Herman
