Perhaps one kernel has less of a problem with dealing with a duplicate
partition label?  I don't think we have enough information from you to
really diagnose the issue.

Looking at your supplied grub.conf file, your older kernel boots using
"root=/dev/sda8" to say where "/" is, that's absolute and unequivical.
I'd expect that the newer kernel should boot the same, given the same
information.  I'd expect both of them to have booting problems if you
had "root=LABEL=/" and two "/" *labelled* partitions (whether you might
it read-only or read/write is irrelevent).

You really need to remove that problem before worrying about anything
else.  I haven't seen you say whether you have.  But relabel one of the
partitions.
