You want it to be your "root drive" which is '/'
So, in your case
kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
would be correct.

sir!
perahaps i was n't able to express my requirements by the above
mail(sorry for that). i want to edit boot loader configuration for
loading my own kernel. for this i have to edit the following line :--
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
like some "kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5". but i don't
know what i should write in place of LABEL. i.e. /dev/hda2 , /dev/hda3
or /dev/hda5.
so; kindly read the following files and suggest
me what should i do.
My Grub.conf file is :--
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
# root (hd0,2)
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5
# initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
default=1
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Fedora Core (2.6.5-1.358)
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.5-1.358 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.5-1.358.img
title Other
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
My /etc/fstab file is :--
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660
noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
df -a output is :--

As, you want to know about what parameters i am going to change? i 'm
going to change the "sched.c" parameters.
hoping for quick reply.

This is very straightforward to do and you do not need to recompile the
kernel. What kernel parameter(s) do you want to set?
