Thanks, Andrei.
Unfortunately so far it hasn't worked. I've got the swap and all the ext3
partitions
labeled (verified by cfdisk), and with the rescue disk boot the labels seem to
work.
I've modified /etc/fstab, replacing the original /dev/hdaX entries with the new
LABEL=Y
entries. But when I try to boot, the system fails to mount the drives.
[By the way, grub has UUIDs. My initial attempts at changing this to labels
hasn't
been successful, so for now I've left the UUIDs in place. Does mixing UUIDs in
grub
with LABELs in fstab pose a problem?]
The boot sequence first seems to fail at:
findfs: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=ARoot'
...after which it fails on mounting the other partitions. One curious line is:
EXT3 FS on hda2, internal journal
This laptop has a single HD. I've commented non-linux partition information out
of /etc/fstab.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated!
