Your immediate problem may be due to some recent changes to how
kernel-modules are installed.  Do you have "DEBUG" set on in
your kernel config?  How big are your /modules and /modules.old
directories?

If you aren't scared way from repartitioning your hard disk,
then I'd go for at least 100meg and maybe 150 meg for /.  But
it may be that you can extract yourself from your immediate
problem without repartitioning the hard disk.  '/' on my own
stable system is under 40meg, and I just rebuilt it last night.

(still, if you don't mind repartitioning, you would probably be
better over the long run to do that)
