Hmmm, let me guess, you are using redhat 9...

If you just upgraded to 9 or are using unsupported betas... well... :-)

I have not tried compiling the kernel under 9, so far I'm using the
kernel build under 8.0 and it is working fine (but I have not tried to
build additional kernel modules). 

I would try turning off the automatic "debuginfo" package generation
that redhat 9 does. 

In /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/macros change %_enable_debug_packages to "0". No,
I have not tried this myself, I assume this is the way to turn that
off...
