Try changing "LABLE" to "LABEL" if you're using volume labels.

e.g. root=LABEL=/

But if you're not using labels, then remove that part.

e.g. root=/dev/hda2

Don't combine the two together.

Of course, root(hd0,2) and /dev/hda2 have to be the right partitions for
*your* system, you can't just copy that from someone else. Remember,
the root(hd0,2) style starts counting from zero as the first partition,
but the /dev/hda2 style starts counting from one. And the root(hd0,2)
is for where your boot partition can be found (the one GRUB's files are
in), where as the kernel root refers to where the system root (/) is
(the start of the directory tree).
