I think that the fstab needs to be changed to use device names, but I'm

Unless I'm very much mistaken device names are the kind of names on traditionally finds in /dev - eg. /dev/hda, /dev/hdb &c. ISTM that in referring to partitions in /etc/fstab as /dev/hdb1 & so on you ARE using device names.

I'm not seeing any critical error messages in your output - could you perhaps explain what the problem is exactly?

More modern kernels allow you to refer to volume labels in /etc/ fstab, thus: LABEL=boot /boot ext3 noauto,noatime 1 2 LABEL=root / reiserfs noatime 0 1 but I don't believe there's any necessity to change anything if it's working.
