I get the same error .
You can have anything in an ext2 filesystem label, but odds are high
they're not labeled with device names (e.g. /dev/sda1)
So, in the above examples,
kernel /vmlinux-2.4.21-27-mpt_scsi ro root=/dev/sda1 hda=ide-scsi
is more likely to be right than the LABEL= variant. Using labels for
meaningful tags is useful, like root=LABEL=rootdisk. I'd probably go
so far as to say labeling a filesystem with a LABEL that is device
name is confusing and harmful.
see 'man e2label' for more on filesystem labeling.
Just a small point on your more complex problem...
