 Just another case of linuxconf messing in configuration settings you don't 
ask it to. In this case it is changing entries in /etc/fstab to use labels 
instead of fixed mount points. When using removable drives and/or SCSI this 
can be useful, because drive order might change in these cases, but for most 
users using IDE disks this is not necessary, and can be confusing, since now 
your /etc/fstab tells you your /boot partition is mounted on the drive with 
LABEL=/boot which was which paritition (/dev/hd??)?

 rpm -e linuxconf
