Off the bat a few things popped at me... first double-check the size on /proc. That seems a bit high, particularly given your second email that says the partition is not even that large.

I reran and got the same:

0       20
2.7M    bin
13M     boot
0       cdrom
88K     dev
6.9M    etc
1.4G    home
1.0K    initrd
0       initrd.img
0       initrd.img.old
1.0K    l20
80M     lib
12K     lost+found
2.0K    media
6.0K    mnt
du: `proc/3077/task': No such file or directory
du: `proc/3077/fd': No such file or directory
385M    proc
390K    root
3.6M    sbin
1.0K    srv
0       sys
24K     tmp
873M    usr
83M     var
0       vmlinuz
0       vmlinuz.old


I dont' know if I have a rouge process. Not even sure how to go about looking for it. I did a ps -ef, and everything (virtually) is regarding X and KDE, I just rebooted the box.

If you have a rogue process
chewing up disk space, you'll want to solve that first. Second, also check the inodes available with df -i just in case this is a case of inode exhaustion instead of disk space.

I'm ok on inodes

hydrogen:/# df -i
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              72288   11318   60970   16% /
tmpfs                  48280       3   48277    1% /dev/shm
/dev/hda8            3541440   19689 3521751    1% /home
/dev/hda7             192768      43  192725    1% /tmp
/dev/hda5             610432   43762  566670    8% /usr
/dev/hda6             366528    2858  363670    1% /var
fe:/home             6553600    8424 6545176    1% /mnt/fe/home

 My final thought is to look
through /lib and see if you need all the libraries you have installed as it seems to be the lion's share of the partition.

I did go thru my /lib directory yesterday and deleted some unused stuff, and that freed up enough space to allow me to install the new kernel
