I totally agree with Harry.  I just recently experienced this with a drive
that was in the process of failing, but wasn't dead yet.  I pulled a fresh
drive out and installed RH7.2 on it, got it all ready to go, then halted
the box, and added my old drive as a slave.  Guess whose rootfs got
mounted....  The OLD drive!

All my boxes have since been converted back to the "old", but 100% reliable
method of specifying device nodes rather than volume labels.
