If you boot without initrd maybe the mount is done by kernel which does not know about LABEL. So this would be another reason for the need of initrd. == end pure speculation -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
