Thank you, yes by visiting `man mkinitrd` after  `man
fstab`, I do learn more of LABEL= ... but still not
enough?

> You need an initrd.

How do we know this?  I see:

$ man mkinitrd
$ grep LOOP /etc/fstab
$ sudo grep 2.5.72-pel /etc/grub.conf | grep initrd
        initrd /initrd-2.5.72-pel.img
$ ls -l /boot/initrd-2.5.72-pel.img
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        84507 Jun 20
22:30 /boot/initrd-2.5.72-pel.img
$

Naively, I think I see already I have an initrd.  Is
that right?

Therefore I can only understand "you need an initrd"
to mean I need a different one.  How do I identify &
fix what's wrong with the initrd I have?
