Hi Callan,
It actually works without a problem with vanilla kernels. The LABEL
feature is contained in the initrd code so as long as you supply a
properly built initrd you'll be able to boot without having to hard
code device paths.

Recently a new menu option was added under Code Maturity Options:
[*] Select only drivers expected to compile cleanly
And everything should compile for you. If it doesn't, make sure
to subscribe to the linux-kernel mailing list if you're not already.
So many people on that list that know their stuff that you're
bound to get a suggestion or complete solution quickly.
Cheers,
Sean
