Given how much trouble it was getting grub2 to cooperate (for some reason device.map was missing, and grub-install --recheck didn't rebuild it) I really don't want to mess with it again trying to get labels to work. Actually, grub2 refused to use UUIDs in the grub2-mkconfig script, even when I explicitly told it to via /etc/default/grub. I wound up having to use the PARTUUID for the root= line or the system would not boot (manually, vy forcing it in /etc/default/grub.) Oddly enough, it was only one machine out of seven so far that's had this weird udev "I'm gonna swap /dev/sda for /dev/sdf for no discernable reason" problem. Dan
