AFAIK, all current and recent Linux distros support mount by-label

Even grub in 10.3 supports mounting by label. I tried yesterday:

title MAIN openSUSE 10.3 (default-label) root (hd0,5) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/disk/by-label/160_root vga=0x317 hwprobe=-modules.pata resume=/dev/hda5 splash=verbose showopts apic

ISTR the YaST installer puts all kernel parameters used during installation on the kernel lines in menu.lst, but does anyone know if hwprobe=-modules.pata has any meaning or relevance to anything other than the YaST installer? -- " Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.
