Well, you are not alone...
First backup all your stuff like settings, bookmarks and stuff using the Backup application on your phone, then also backup at least your /home/user folder to some external storage as well, just to be safe.
Read from this post on http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=933228&postcount=8 about a possible solution, but it also might fail...

See this post:

I semi-automated everything that michaaa62 is explaining. Just download the zip and copy the "emmcfix" folder directly to your SD card. But READ the readmes that are included.

The error you are receiving might be from a different setup than Durango's setup at the start. He posted the output of the commands we needed to look at the setup. There might be other values and files necessary for your personal need.
So please also post the output of
But you really might take a look at the packages and explanations Durango has put together in his zip file. Nice work, man!

Try this for a 16 GB card:
Like I mentioned, I don't exactly know how these numbers work, I'm only calculating them off ratios from that post on the Nokia Europe boards, so if someone has a clue what they're doing here, feel free to chime in.
But that should give you approximately 13 GB for the FAT32 partition, 2 GB for the ext3 and 1 GB for the swap.
Code:
sfdisk /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF 1,39000,c 390001,60000,83 450001,,82 EOF dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1p1 bs=512 count=1
But that should give you approximately 13 GB for the FAT32 partition, 2 GB for the ext3 and 1 GB for the swap.

please type this in x-term:
Then copy output.txt from your microSD card and attach it to your a post here so we can view the contents.
PS: please note that the "-l" after sfdisk is an L, and that "mmcblk" also has an L. Everything else is a one.
I'm not sure how much space I had left, I didn't actually delete the /home or opt folder on rootfs.. I think you should have at least 30 MB free.
Also, I made a few corrections to other parts of the documentation (nothing involving step 5) or 6) that you posted above), but in any case you should re-download the zip just to make sure everything you have is correct.
Mods: Can topics be merged? This topic is pretty much the same as here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=69081
Code:
sudo gainroot df -h >> /media/mmc1/output.txt sfdisk -l /dev/mmcblk1 >> /media/mmc1/output.txt
