I have you checked the number of inodes you allocated for your system. If you run out of those, you might get such messages.
No. In this case you will get a "no space left on device" message. "System is too big" just means that the kernel is too big (loading of the kernel happens in real mode, so the old 640KB limit applies). Creating a bzImage solves the problem, as the new loader is able to use the "high" memory for loading and decompressing the kernel. Or use modules.

I tried to rebuild the kernel with the 5.3 distribution with smp turned on.
I got a compile error in ide-tape.c. Didn't need it, so I removed it from the configuration.
Built again, and this time I got the error "System is too big".
I have 2GB free on disk so i'm not running out of space.
I got this too. It means the kernel is too big. I'm not sure what constitutes too big, however, since the kernal I compiled was smaller than the ones that come with SuSE. Try removing some items in the kernal and recompile.
