    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@0 memmap=63M@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@0 memmap=63M@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,

    schu
