Dear all,
I have compiled the linux-2.6.32-431.el6-kernel with the following steps
1. Make mproper
2. Make menuconfig
3. Make
4. Make modules
5. Make modules_install The compilation is successful but there is a huge change in the size of the .ko generated compared to original .ko from the rpm.
Please suggest the steps to compile the centos linux-2.6.32-431.el6-kernel and use the modules and to build the kernel.rpm
Thanks and regards Dilip Kumar B

It's extremely well documented in the 3 kernel articles on the Wiki:

And as to the size of the modules being big, this blog explains it all:
