Many thanks for this suggestion, however following it makes no |
| 21 |
difference, except in the trivia that it says "failed to open the |
| 22 |
device '/dev/hda3': No such file or directory" (instead of "LABEL=..."). |

I also tried editing grub to point to /dev/sda3 (although admittedly |
| 25 |
with the LABEL= entry in /etc/fstab) but that makes no difference. I |
| 26 |
have never tried (intentionally) reconfiguring this kernel to use /dev/ |
| 27 |
sdX instead of /dev/hdX and I'm pretty sure it's booted using the |
| 28 |
current kernel & configuration in the past. |
