The problem is a typo: LABLE instead of LABEL this is of course not true if the above was a typo when you typed your email. another good idea is to change the kernel line in grub.conf to point directly to your root filesystem: kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.21-4.EL ro root=/dev/hda2 (or something like that) instead odf using labels, which IMHO are far more trouble than they are worth, unless you are using SCSI devices. (or other hotpluggable drives) personally I do this and change all the references in /etc/fstab to use device nodes as well. It makes troubleshooting easier.
