The label seems to be correct, ie, running "e2label /dev/sdc3" from
DVD rescue terminal returns "/".

I don't have any other OS partitions -- Linux or otherwise.

Just now I tried supplying the device name:

  kernel /vm........ ro root=/dev/sdc3

(the root partition as seen from the DVD), and

  kernel /vm........ ro root=root=/dev/sdd3

(the original device name), with the same results (kernel panic).

root is there. The rescue program sees it, mounts it as /mnt/sysimage,
and I can chroot to it. I just can't get Grub to find it.

Anyone have any other ideas?

TIA
