The good thing of partition labels is that you don't need to
remember whether /dev/hda1 really is your root-partition. Is it?

Try again without making type mistakes. It's

  mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.4.20-ck.img 2.4.20-ck

and requires that you have your kernel modules built and installed
correctly. With LILO it requires that you edit lilo.conf and rewrite
LILO (with e.g. lilo -v).
