The root partition, i.e. the one mounted on /.

Here is your problem, official linux-image-* packages do not fit into
that space:
,----
| % aptitude show linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 | grep Size:
| Uncompressed Size: 59.5M
`----
In the short run you can free space by removing old kernels, but if you
plan to have more than two kernels installed concurrently, you probably
have to bite the bullet and repartition.
