It was unable to mount the root partition. I tried not using the "LABEL=" to no avail. So your root partition (including the /boot) is ext3? And you are able to boot without using a RAM drive? And you have ext3 compiled directly into the kernel? And you have loadable module support turned off in your custom kernel? If so, perhaps you can email me your kernel config file and I can give that a try. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong. I've seen posts other places where people have had the same problem.
