Did you try with changing the root device for the bigmem kernel to /dev/hda3? If you use grub for booting you could do that by pressing 'e' (for edit on the line with the bigmem kernel) and afterwards pressing 'b' (for boot) while in the grub menu (to just try it) or updating /boot/grub/menu.lst (for the bigmem kernel) and running update-grub before rebooting into the bigmem kernel.
