Need a working gub_firmware.

[Joe Robertson]

Well, DINFO 5.1.4 reports them as NFTL.

However I notice that DINFO 5.1.4 reports the TrueFFS as 5.1.4, BUT 
using DINFO 5.1.2 on THE SAME CHIP reports TrueFFS as 5.1.2!?
So the diagnostic tool may be wrong. Could be part of my problem.

I am going to go thru the grub-0.92 patch thouroghly sometime this 
weekend.  If anyone has any specs or docs they can share with me on the 
2202(or 2200) series (Msys 5.1.x tools), I would appreciate it.  I've 
got to understand my build chain and find out what works.  I know lots 
of stuff that doesn't work.

I need Grub because we use the serial/console choice, boot menus and a 
few other features.  This all worked once upon a time, but we've updated 
compilers and tools and other parts.  Grub 0.92 won't even compile under 
gcc 3.3.x.  I need to fix all this.

Also what is the difference between the code in patches/ for grub-0.92 
and the code in the grub/ folder???

Thanks, and have good weekend.
