Good.
 
Now the next thing that you have to is actually configure the damned
thing rather than just accept the defaults.

Hi Larry. :)

 
Question: What is the size or you final compressed kernel image?
 
Here is mine (also 6.11):
 
ls -l /boot
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3216384 Sep 18 06:26 vmlinuz-611
 
That's just 3.22 megabytes.  Yours must at least 10x.

$ ll /boot/vmlinuz-6.11.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10781184 Sep 19 04:31 /boot/vmlinuz-6.11.0

11M.  Big woop, I have scads of disk space and memory.

 
But this is only a rough comparison because it doesn't include
the modules, but you must build about 100x as many modules as
I do.

I build a "kitchen sink" kernel with almost all the modules,
and it takes about 6 minutes.

Don't forget.  Next time CONFIGURE.

I "CONFIGURE"d several versions ago.  Now I just copy
over my .config, "make oldconfig", and configure new variables
that have been added.
