Hi Dennis,
Your modules aren't stripped, which is what causes the huge initrd.
Try:
make INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 modules_install
instead of
make modules_install
to fix this.
A switch to just the required "dep" modules resulted in a small enough
initrd to get moving again. However I will try INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 also
to see what the result is.
I should let you know that cleaning out the modules from many many build
revisions also lightens the disk load under /lib/modules.
