Greetings;
This is a resend, from my home account, no idea how it was sent thru
the work account, which of course bounced...
My old 233mhz P-II needs all the help it can get, so I was compiling a
stripped down kernel. But I couldn't boot to it (no initrd, just
modules) using the root=LABEL=/ in the grub command line.
Fooled with it for several hours, then decided to use root=/dev/hda8
(home of the / partition) instead. Worked first time.
What is it that allows the default FC2T3 kernel to use labels while
its booting, but when I duplicate the grub entry but with the newer
vmlinuz name, I have to use root=/dev/hda8?
Or is this a real bug?
