IIUC this would only work if the installer is already running a -bigmem 
kernel, which might be an option for custom versions of the installer, but 
IMO not for regular versions. It's also awfully i386 specific.

Also, I would personally prefer not to have the full 'uname -r' passed to 
the kernel selection scripts.

Finally, you seem to be setting a PAE envvar, which is subsequently not used 
anywhere.
