* use e2label to create labels for all your partition:
e2label /dev/hdaX root_part
(where 'root_part' is the label for the root partition and /dev/hdaX is
the device name of the root partition. Use whatever naming scheme you
want).
* edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the line
# kopt=root=/dev/hda5 ro (other boot options)
to
# kopt=root=LABEL=root_part ro (other boot options)
* also edit the stanza that you will boot and replace 'root=/dev/hda5'
with 'root=LABEL=root_part'
* edit /etc/fstab and change all references to the device (/dev/hda5,
...) with LABEL={label}
* reboot
* run /usr/sbin/update-grub to regenerate /boot/grub/menu.lst to use the
label everywhere.
Regards,
Andrei
