I do not know the reason. did you ever have a password for root? are you in single user mode? > 3) Since the reboot following kernel rebuilt, the root partition(/) is > full.

As a result hmmm, let's see, 9 * 10,000,000 = 90,000,000 bytes = 90M. that's pretty big! > of this, running programs is somewhat unstable.
