I've got something similar to this going on.  Here's the data:
uname -a yields: 
   Linux eRuiServer 2.6.31-19-generic-pae #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:29:51 
UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

status ureadahead yields:
   ureadahead stop/waiting

df yields:

>From the df we can see that the /dev/sda2 partition that has /home
mounted is using 12,963,948kb.  This is reasonably consistent with the
value reported by du, which is 12,771,740kb.  But for /dev/sda1, which
has everything else, df reports it is using 22,204,940kb and is 98%
full; and debugfs mirrors that.  But if we look at what du reports for
everything besides /home (we also ignore media too because that is just
an external disk) it totals out to 4,398,960kb which isn't even close to
98%.  I spent most of the day trying to find what is going on here but
have failed.  The debugfs led me to this discussion.  When I boot my
server it is complaining that the root directory is almost full.  Does
anybody think my problem is related to this one?  Any suggestions on
what I can do?  Thanks in advance!
