Try this:
[erik@woody ~erik]$ e2label /dev/hda2 /usr [erik@woody ~erik]$ e2label /dev/hda2 "" [erik@woody ~erik]$ e2label /dev/hda2
[erik@woody ~erik]$
Hope this helps, Erik.

I have this same problem with 2.4.20 on RH8. Is there anyway to remove a FS label? That appears to be the problem.
The program 'e2label' is just what you're looking for.
Or go old skool:
tune2fs -L label-name /dev/hdX
"Logically" if the fstab "LABEL=/" does not work with devfs then some translation process is not taking place correctly. That means the disk label MAY mean nothing. If its presence guarantees a mistranslation then the only help is "e2label <path to device>" to create a blank or empty label. If you figure out what the form is for <path to device> simply use that in fstab and be done with it.
I wonder if this is somehow related to having the wrong mod-utils with the kernel package.
{^_^} I also admit, I don't guarantee the logic above. There could be a fatal issue with devfs that means you just aren't going to boot using devfs the way you want.
The parameters for e2lable is e2label <device> <label>
If no 2nd parameter is furnished, e2label returns the value of the existing label. So how do you specific a blank label?
