 Get the bigphys patch for 2.6.24 (a new version of this was created on Jan 6, 2009 that eliminates the Makefile patch problem...), and apply it to the source tree:

 Follow the instructions for Ubuntu 8.04, with a few modifications.  The kernel should be a 2.6.28 version.  The bigphysarea patch is here:

 This Ubuntu is picky about permissions, so do things properly.  Get kernel source, and helpers:

 otherwise, configure your kernel as usual, ensuring that bigphysarea is on.  Now compile the kernel packages:

 To actually enable the bigphysarea in your new kernel, edit the grub menu to enable bigphysarea by modifying the value of <code>GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT</code> in <code>/etc/default/grub</code> to:
