could be..
here's what I have:
cat /etc/fstab

# file system  mount-point  type   options         dump  fsck
#                                                        order

/dev/sda3      /            ext4   defaults,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr 
        1     1
/dev/sda4      swap         swap   pri=1           0     0
/dev/scd0      /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 
         0     0
proc           /proc        proc   defaults        0     0
sysfs          /sys         sysfs  defaults        0     0
devpts         /dev/pts     devpts gid=4,mode=620  0     0
tmpfs          /dev/shm     tmpfs  defaults        0     0
#none           /selinux     selinuxfs  defaults    0     0
# End /etc/fstab

does changing LABEL=/ to your device do anything?
