When installing Fedora 9 onto an existing partition that already has a label, the installer will change the label to "/". If there is an existing partition with this label the system will fail to boot. If there is an existing installation on the computer that uses the labels in its fstab, it will fail to boot as well. Could the custom partition editor either keep the existing label or allow the user to set the partition label with the existing label as a default?

The F9 system /etc/fstab should have had UUIDs rather than labels specified to mount the partitions. Is that not the case after your install? Having two partitions labeled '/' should work fine.
