Thanks.  I did not know about the mkisofs limits.  As it turns out, I was 
using a -l in my mkisofs command line.  Should I still have had the problem?  
My command line was as follows (except for the line breaks of course):

mkisofs -R -l -L -D -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat 
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -V "LFS_$(date +%Y%m%d)" 
$LFS | cdrecord -v -eject dev=0,0,0 speed=4 -

No big deal either way.  Now that I know about the problem, using a shorter 
Kernel name works for me.  Sorry to have bothered you with the false alarm.
