The .config file in this kernel tarball (which I assume is the kernel
configuration you're using) has gazillions of kernel modules enabled.
99.999999% of them are most likely useless in your setup. Those kernel
modules are the one that are causing your root filesystem to be 30+MB.
Best regards,
Thomas
