I fixed this kernel bug quite some time ago. Please download my
initrd-memmove fix from the below address (plus another fix that will
handle the case where the loader loads the initrd image in a not PAGE_SIZE
aligned address, it's safe and you want it). Apply both the two patches
over 2.2.14 (or previous more buggy kernels :) and initrd will works like
a charm :)
