           Product: kernel
         Component: packaging
           Summary: error when using EXT2 or EXT3 and LABEL="" in fstab
           Version: 2.4.21-0.pre4.6mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


1. something in the in the pkg is adding root=LABEL=linux_root to my /etc/lilo.conf
2. lilo reports error at end of kernel install,
3. manual edit /etc/lilo.conf and changing root=LABEL=linux_root to
root=/dev/root fixes the error, 
4. using lilo revalidates file

log follows

There is an error when regenerating lilo, you may have to check your /etc/lilo.conf

what the /etc/lilo.conf has for the above error is
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21pre4-6mdk
        label=2421-6
        root=LABEL=linux_root
        read-only
        optional
        vga=791
        append=" quiet devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi"
        initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.21pre4-6mdk.img
