The problem is not limited to LABEL support however. I can see from compile time logs that 'make install' fails when trying to generate a correct initrd. And i have no idea of how to fix it manually. man mkinitrd didn't help much either. Maybe there are also some more problems, but indeed the initrd image is not generated correctly. Could you explain me how to do it manually or link to me some useful docs? Thanks E
