I am trying to create a CF card that boots 686 CentOS 6.3 On boot I get a message about /dev/disk/by-label/\x2f where \x2f is "/" cannot be found. Adding rdshell to the boot line and booting up sure enough the /dev/disk directory does not exist. What "creates" that early on in the boot process? My CF card was changed from UUID to LABEL. So I edited grub.conf and make root=LABEL=/ like the OLD 5.X days. Clearly I have missed something else when swithing back to a LABEL method. I want to use LABEL because I want to duplicate cards. Thanks, Jerry

I want to use LABEL because I want to duplicate cards.Did you remember to change /etc/fstab so that it agrees with grub.conf? -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca> "Simply put, E=mc^2 is liberal claptrap." -- Conservapedia.com
