FC2 install/upgrade problem

[Robert Locke]

Actually labels are optional to be used.

You can confirm the current labels of a given partition by running the
command "e2label /dev/hdxn", which will display the label associated
with that partition.  To change a label you would use "e2label /dev/hdxn
newlabelname"

I tend to see labels being used in /etc/fstab and also tend to see them
referenced in grub.conf.  Currently your fstab does not seem to be
referencing them....  Make sure that if you change a label that you
adjust any references....
