That's right, I asked over a year ago, and no one ever answered. Now I'm again working on the same bug, but the current 11.0 kernel (2.6.25-1.1), initrd & modules consume about 650MB. Someone please tell me how to do whatever it takes to reduce the space down to normal size.
I haven't built the factory kernel, but on the stock distro it also takes a lot of space. My guess is that the build includes debug info of some sort, but I don't know which configuration item to change.
I've looked on http://en.opensuse.org/Configure%2C_Build_and_Install_a_Custom_Linux_Kernel and seen that supposedly an RPM can be made from what was built. I need to do that too, because it turns out I need to try it on a different system from the one I built it on. However, something seems to be missing on that page. I don't see where I'm supposed to set BKINSTALLRPM=yes to make it happen, nor do I see anything there about bloated modules.
I don't know the answer, and I'm also interested. See? You got an answer this time, even if it doesn't solve anything ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
