I'm still stuck with a barely operating install. Can anyone give me a hint where I can start looking? I've been seaching forums and google for two weeks now, and am empty-handed. Perhaps this isn't the right place to ask this, but there seem to be people here that have tried the same fix...has noone else had this 100% full / partition after the fix?

I don't even understand what these numbers mean, but here's some data:
sfdisk gives the following:

[root@localhost ~]# sfdisk -d /dev/hdb
# partition table of /dev/hdb
unit: sectors

/dev/hdb1 : start= 63, size= 205002, Id=83, bootable
/dev/hdb2 : start= 205065, size= 12389895, Id=8e
/dev/hdb3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/hdb4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
[root@localhost ~]#

here's my df results:
[root@localhost ~]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

[root@localhost ~]# sfdisk -d /dev/hdb
# partition table of /dev/hdb

/dev/hdb2 : start= 205065, size= 12389895, Id=8e
/dev/hdb3 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
/dev/hdb4 : start= 0, size= 0, Id= 0
[root@localhost ~]#

and here's fdisk:

Disk /dev/hdb: 6448 MB, 6448619520 bytes
15 heads, 63 sectors/track, 13328 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 945 * 512 = 483840 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 217 102501 83 Linux
/dev/hdb2 218 13328 6194947+ 8e Linux LVM
[root@localhost ~]#

Thanks for ANY insight!!!

Wow. I forgot that I posted this. Just in case anyone was concerned, the solution was to find a bigger disk...it was just a coincidence that after I resolved the boot problem as stated above, the disk just happened to become critically full. It's now developed S.M.A.R.T. errors, so I won't have the chance to prove this, but I'm pretty sure this was all a silly mistake.
