Karanbir,

Running e2label /dev/sda1 reports that in fact the partition is "/"

My kernel boot line is infact "root=LABEL=/"

My issue here is that I did the initial install. This install boots with 
the LABEL=/ just fine.
After the custom kernel build it does not boot. I'm trying to find out 
if there is an option in the config
that is needed for these label boots. Perhaps one of these: (I dont know 
if I am fishing here and/or which one would do it)

CONFIG_NETLABEL
CONFIG_BSD_DISKLABEL
CONFIG_UNIXWARE_DISKLABEL

I did search and wasn't finding what I was looking for, then I posted.

I have not changed the line to try root=/dev/sda1 as I was trying to 
make it work the same way.

Thanks for helping.

Jerry
