I've managed to come up with a solution to use GRUB including generating
the mysterious 'grub.elf'. The gNewSense site talks about booting
'grub.elf' but I could not find how to get a 'grub.elf' on the site,
perhaps gNewSense comes with a grub.elf? I can recommend using the GRUB
method as it boots up much quicker and you get GRUB goodness.

I've not had those problems when using the siliconmotion with the
01_mips-sarea.diff patch applied, details at
