I installed the bigmem kernel ( 2.6.24-1-686 ). Thought this is the same
kernel version that my system has been running on, when I try to boot to the
bigmem kernel, the boot process creeps along at an incredibly slow rate and
appears to hang during dev assignment / configuration, though it seems that
if I would have left it going for a half an hour it might have made it
further.

My question is simple. Am I naive to think that the bigmem version of the
same kernel version would be similar enough to the standard kernel to have
no issues with my hardware?
