Peter,

You have to supply a proper initrd that handles resolving the label for
you.   Reportedly there is a bug in a recent mkinitrd rpm so you may need
to downgrade before creating an initrd image, check out this bugzilla
entry:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=112623

Of course you'll have to make sure your grub or lilo entry properly
references this initrd as well.

Cheers,
Sean
