I am trying to create a CF card that boots 686 CentOS 6.3 On boot I get a message about /dev/disk/by-label/\x2f where \x2f is "/" cannot be found.

Adding rdshell to the boot line and booting up sure enough the /dev/disk directory does not exist.

What "creates" that early on in the boot process?

My CF card was changed from UUID to LABEL. So I edited grub.conf and make root=LABEL=/ like the OLD 5.X days. Clearly I have missed something else when swithing back to a LABEL method. I want to use LABEL because I want to duplicate cards.

If you load the card into something else, and look at the label (e2label ...), is the card partition labelled?
