This is what I am using in grub and it works:
title Linux (2.6.8)
root (hd0,0)
uppermem 62464k
kernel /linux26 memmap=exactmap memmap=640K at 0 memmap=63M at 1M
console=ttyS0,9600n8 load_ramdisk=1 root=/dev/root ramdisk_size=32768
ether=9,0x320,0,0x3c509,eth0 ether=10,0x330,0,0x3c509,eth1 ide0=ali14xx
initrd /rootfs.gz
This is what I was using in syslinux that broke with "invalid compressed
format (err=2)" after a improper shutdown (only ramdisk mounted).
LABEL linux
KERNEL linux26
APPEND memmap=exactmap memmap=640K at 0 memmap=63M at 1M
console=ttyS0,9600n8 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=rootfs.gz root=/dev/root
ramdisk_size=32768 ether=9,0x320,0,0x3c509,eth0
ether=10,0x330,0,0x3c509,eth1 ide0=ali14xx
hope that helps,
