[Voyage-linux] /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS does not exist

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

  Hi Jim,

Then try the followings:
1. You may try some value in rootdelay, say 10
2. when drop to initramfs prompt again, type "ls /dev" and "ls /dev/sda1" to see if the file exist.
3. Do not use initramfs.  Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst or at grub prompt,
     a. delete "initrd /initrd.img" line
     b. change root=/dev/sda1 to explicitly specify the disk device.
