Works with 2.2x and up to 2.4.0 test12-pre3.bz2

Make sure you specify the following if you're using loadlin

	root=/dev/ram

With anything above test12-pre3.bz2, you'll ran into the following problem

kernel BUG at buffer.c:827!
invalid operand: 0000
CPU:    0
EIP:    0010:[<c0135e13>]
EFLAGS: 00010286
