Works on Mandriva Linux Cooker (x86-32) using:

Linux telaviv1.shlomifish.org 2.6.36.1-desktop-2mnb #1 SMP Wed Dec 1 02:06:37 CET 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I'm getting root (but also got a kernel oops along the way).

Regards,

If you read the description of the exploit you'll notice that the Oops is a necessary part of the exploit...
