System Karmic Beta i386

Machine Dell Inspiron 1000 Laptop
Celeron 2.4 running 256MB RAM 40 GB HDD

Partitioning: 
SDA1 100 MB with /boot
SDA2 764 MB swap
SDA3 6.4 GB with /
SDA4 29.5 GB /home

Problem:

After the initial install from alternate cd, and system update to -14
kernel version, the computer could not boot in to gnome or xterm.

“The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been
installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator."

further investigation showed that the disk is full and in particular the
/var/log directory occupied all available space for root. These
particular files are a problem:

sys.log is 1.7 GB

kern.log is 1.6 GB

messages are 700 mb

copies are available if needed.

Dmesg is attached.
