The obvious solution is to find out what's filling up your root 
partition. Since you don't have either /tmp or /var mounted there, I 
suspect that you either have A) a whole bunch of old kernels; B) have a 
whole bunch of coredumps under /; or C) you've been using root as a 
login account, and now have too much stuff in /root. 126M is more than 
enough room for a root partition that doesn't have /tmp or /var.

For further reading, see the du manpage.
