Maybe, but each and every module by itself is inflated - for example:

[root at fallguy modules]# ls -l 2.6.0-0.test11.1.99{smp,wr0}/kernel/fs/ext3
2.6.0-0.test11.1.99smp/kernel/fs/ext3:
total 140
-rwxr--r--    1 root     root       135412 Nov 26 17:27 ext3.ko
 
2.6.0-0.test11.1.99wr0/kernel/fs/ext3:
total 2068
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root      2110262 Dec 13 19:17 ext3.ko


Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks, Willem Riede.
