Perhaps one kernel has less of a problem with dealing with a duplicate partition label? I don't think we have enough information from you to really diagnose the issue. Looking at your supplied grub.conf file, your older kernel boots using "root=/dev/sda8" to say where "/" is, that's absolute and unequivical. I'd expect that the newer kernel should boot the same, given the same information. I'd expect both of them to have booting problems if you had "root=LABEL=/" and two "/" *labelled* partitions (whether you might it read-only or read/write is irrelevent). You really need to remove that problem before worrying about anything else. I haven't seen you say whether you have. But relabel one of the partitions. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.23.1-10.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
