This will damage your installation and prevent future upgrades to work well.
From my experience, generally labels, are a royal pain, since whenever
I try to connect a friend's hard disk, or try to do multiple installations on the same machine, Linux gets completely confused with the similar labels. In fact after every installation I change the fstab to remove the labels. Ofcourse I *never* upgrade, maybe thats why it works out for me.....
if you do "make install" (after modules_install) an initrd will be made and added to grub automatically which makes this all just work. -- if you want to mail me at work (you don't), use arjan (at) linux.intel.com Test the interaction between Linux and your BIOS via http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
