problem installing kernels

Recently I've been having a problem where I'm unable to install a new kernel
- when I use kernel rpm's the install process gets to 100%, but then never
finishes... top shows a umount process taking 99% cpu, and the process seems
to be unkillable (kill -9 multiple times fails to do anything).
So I tried manually compiling a kernel - it builds successfully, but then
when I get to 'make install', it does the same thing (including 'umount'
eating cpu). The last thing that is output is the following:
sh -x ./install.sh 2.4.24-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrmacustom bzImage
/usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/System.map ""
+ '[' -x /root/bin/installkernel ']'
+ '[' -x /sbin/installkernel ']'
+ exec /sbin/installkernel 2.4.24-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrmacustom bzImage
/usr/src/linux-2.4.24-1.ll.rhfc1.ccrma/System.map ''
I'm not sure what would need to be unmounted in order for a kernel to be
installed, so I'm a bit confused.
