oh yeah that's a point .. (I'm a developer that uses a serial console :-), I forget these things)... Right so it sounds like either you are missing the drivers for your disks or your initrd is not being loaded.. do you see anything mentioning your initrd before the crash... By the looks of it labels aren't read by the kernel, tey are read by the mount command in initrd which does the right thing.... so boot a normal RH, do mount.. find out the name of your root filesystem, change the line in grub.conf from root=LABEL=/ to root=/dev/hdxx or whatever and see if that boots it ... if not then youare missing the drivers I'd sa.. (also try removing the initrd line for a test ..)
