Please be more specific about the *EXACT* steps you used to rebuild the
kernel.  Then we may have a better idea where the free space has gone.

Or you can try to find out yourself.  As root try:

    # cd /usr
    # du -sk *

Then when you find the /usr subdirectory that uses most of the free
space, you can descend one level deeper and repeat ``du -sk *'' until
you find out what parts of /usr take up most of its space.
