I wonder why you need to recompile your own kernel, ? I presume Redhat has
installed a "modular" kernel in 6.0 in the same manner that previous
versions have had, if that is true then you already have 99% of things
needed, its just that they are modules and not compiled into the kernel.
Even if you did not install the "extra" kernel modules you can still install
them form the 6.0 source medium you have.
As to the problem above;
If lilo complains then the kernel image is like reported Tooooo big.
Solution, either use the origanal kernel or compile more options as modules.
That has advantage that you save memory grabed by a abnormaly large kernel.
Perhaps you could tell us what it is you need that is NOT in the origanal
kernel.
