that did it -- creating an initrd.img for 2.4.20-2.2 which contained absolutely no loadable modules fixed the problem. so the rule is, you can use "root=LABEL=/" in your /etc/grub.conf file *only* if you have an initrd.img file. otherwise, you need the /dev name. there is no way in heck i would have ever thought of that. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
