Description Rae Stiening 2009-04-14 13:46:49 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; Media Center PC 5.0; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)

I prefer to load the system disk by label rather than by disk id so that I can make backup copies of that disk using dd. If 11.1 has been installed so that fstab mounts by label (System in the example below) the menu.lst file should contain a line like...
append=resume=/dev/disk/by-label/System
instead of
append=resume=/dev/disk/by-id/....



Reproducible: Always

Yes implementation is not perfect and it depends on global mount by from storage. If you set mount-by label for one partition it doesn't work. But I accept that it is bug. Your bugreport is duplicate of bug #458018
