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.
