dracut-config-rescue generates the "rescue" images in the /boot partition (at least on Fedora hosts). This is a waste of space since these are ultimately throwaway VMs. Uninstall dracut-config-rescue from the base images, and delete any already-generated images , thus saving space for more "make linux" invocations.
