disklabel

Hi,
	I had a machine running RH9 and a 120GB SATA HDD. The HDD was ailing and 
occassionally giving out sector not found {Drive ready,Seek failure} errors. 
So i thought it was time to move in to FC3 and a new 160GB SATA HDD.

Bootup of FC3 gave me a kernel crash, and an error complaining about 
suggesting acpi=off, but even with acpi=off, still gave me the same warning 
and a crash..

I then later on figured that the SATA Enhanced mode operation would be a 
problem and switched it to compatibility mode. The motherboard is an ASUS 
P4C800, Intel 875 chipset.. Lo it worked....

That went fine through.... No problems even though initially i thought not to 
edit /etc/fstab by hand because it was generated by fstab-sync ? I went on to 
edit it by hand...

Everything went smoothly...


Now i figured that i required some files more were there on the old HDD, than 
compared to the backup i had...

I plugged in the OLD SATA HDD has Primary Slave, and the NEW SATA HDD as 
Primary master.  

The initscripts failed stating about duplicate LABEL=/, LABEL=/boot, 
LABEL=/work...

and a hung system...

I know that if i modify the disklabels to actual device names my problems 
would be solved...

But, what i would like to know is whether a graceful way of doing it exists, 
without much hassle... I know that this is not much of an issue, but still 
thought it would be better if i posted the problem...
