Good.

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

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.

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.

Don't forget.  Next time CONFIGURE.
