Use the grub-2003-01-08-doc.patch with the latest GRUB cvs.  You will get 
errors when patching ChangeLog, but those don't matter. 

I tested this combination today, and the patch worked, as well as the 
aclocal/automake/autoconf, configure, and make steps.  The grub_firmware 
output was installed on a 32MB DiskOnChip 2000, and it boots as expected.

Make sure you use automake version 1.5 and autoconf version 2.53.  On some 
systems, this can be specified by exporting WANT_AUTOMAKE_1_5=1 and 
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1. 

See http://lakeshoremicro.com/diskonchip-grub-howto.html for updated 
instructions, but use the 2003-01-08 patch instead of 2002-10-08.

Subject: hang into genprobe_ident_chips
Message-ID: <00ed01c2cf9e$5e45a480$0200a8c0@ester>

Hi,
I have problems using an Intel flash TE28F320-C3BC90
My kernel hangs into (gen_probe.c, 125), genprobe_ident_chips( )
Could someone please suggest me what do I have to do to solve this ?
Do I need to add a new flash type in jedec_probe.c ?
TIA
