e2label can show and change these labels. The reason the label is used is for hot pluggable drives - where sdc may become sdb when a drive is removed. The label allows Linux to refer to them consistently. > I built the kernel from source, following these stages: > > make mrproper > make menuconfig make rpm. Install the rpm. Much safer, and easier too. Am too tired to provide you with real help for your system right now, except to say check the label, and check the initrd exists and contains the right modules.
