my GRUB file reads:

title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18)
        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18 ro root=LABEL=/ hdb=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.18.img

Which *should* be right, unfortunately it still complains.

that bolded part isnt correct (is it?)

voidmain:
That should be correct as long as his root file system is "labeled" as "/" and you don't have more than one file system labeled as "/". You have to use the tunefs command to see the label as I mentioned. Is the name of the kernel correct and reside in /boot?

Otherwise try changing the "root=LABEL=/" to "root=/dev/hda?" depending on which parition contains your root file system.

Also, make sure your /etc/fstab file is correct which shouldn't come into account until the kernel remounts the root file system for rw.

It wouldnt be on any other distro, but redhat is wacky....
