[LinuxBIOS] GX1

Hello.
I have a (NS GX1 + CX5530A + PC97317) board which takes forever to boot.
According to the LinuxBios documentation this sort of a board should have
been supported by v1 as "cocom" configuration, but is not supported on v2.
I have tried building using an example config file i found on the net :
http://tracker.linuxbios.org/trac/LinuxBIOS/browser/trunk/LinuxBIOSv1/src/ma
inboard/cocom/voyager2/config.example?rev=521
But when i go into the directory and "make" it responds as follows:

gcc -x assembler-with-cpp -DASSEMBLY -E ... crt0.S > crt0.s 
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
make: *** [crt0.s] Error 2

I think I should mention that I directed the config file to a 2.6 kernel.

I would love to hear a solution to this problem either a way to make it
work with v2.
Thank you.

EyalC.

We have multiple GX1 based boards supported in v2, you can support the
cocom by modifying one of them (e.g. try asi/mb_5blmp) to your needs.
Shouldn't be too much work, these GX1 boards are mostly very similar.

You can use the v1 code as reference (i.e. to lookup cocom-specific
data), but I would not invest any time into v1 code anymore. Just
support the board in v2...

Let us know if you need help or have any questions! And please post a
(signed-off) patch if you get it to work!

Thanks, Uwe.
