Re: FC4 -> FC8 upgrade problem with fstab label

I'd like to upgrade my rather dated Fedora Core 4 system to FC8.
However my upgrade attempt is halted by the message:
error mounting hda5 as /disc54
no such device or address
devices in /etc/fstab should be specified by label, not by device name
Any suggestions as to how my fstab should be revised? Below is my fstab:
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /disc54 ext3 defaults 1 2
#LABEL=/disc54 /disc54 ext3 defaults 1 2
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

one of who things bit you...
partitions must be labeled, looks like your partitions are labeled but I
am including here for completeness...(started Fedora 7)

drives are no longer using /dev/hdX designations, but using /dev/sdX
designations (probably have to edit /etc/fstab and /boot/grub/grub.conf
by booting in 'linux rescue mode' and fixing these files)

The latter appears to be your issue
