Hmmm.  This is the second report we've seen recently.  Try this:

# find / -xdev -size +2000 | xargs ls -l

This will find all files larger than 1 MB (2000 blocks of 512 byte) on
the root file system.  The only ones that should be there should be
/kernel and /kernel.GENERIC (and possibly other kernels that you have
put there).

If that doesn't find anything untoward, do:

# find / -xdev -type d

This lists all the directories in /.  You should get something like:

/ /dev /dev/fd /usr /stand /stand/help /stand/etc /etc /etc/gnats
/etc/kerberosIV /etc/mtree /etc/namedb /etc/ppp /etc/uucp /proc /cdrom
/dist /bin /lkm /mnt /root /sbin /tmp /tmp/.X11-unix /src /home

If there are other directories there, check them out.  In particular,
of course, /var shouldn't be there.
