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.
