FWIW, this exact same problem also existed in 9.1, so it is not a 9.2 
regression.
     

well not exactly 

in 9.1 the problem was only with xfs (module is ~300k)

in cooker/9.2 the kernel is compiled with all debuging symbols
(not the case with 9.1), and the kernel is with ~300k bigger
   

Isn't it an ACPI interpreter problem, rather? There is no such
300k difference between 9.1 and 9.2. ACPI was introduced for 9.1
IIRC, and one can see a big change between 9.0 and 9.1:
8.0:   833285 Apr 15  2001 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.3-20mdk

8.1:  1047752 Sep 23  2001 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.8-26mdk

8.2:   887614 Mar 15  2002 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-6mdk

9.0:   880346 Sep 20  2002 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.19-16mdk

9.1:  1252778 Mar 14  2003 /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk
 

But you can still create a boot floppy with 9.1...
