[SOLVED] Problem with booting newly installed system

I'm with Arch for some quite time now and never had problems like this...

Boot:

root (hd1,0)
 Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83

so it shoud be working (correct filesystem) but:

mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-label/boot on /new_root failed: No such device
ERROR: Failed to mount the real root device.

cd /dev/disk/by-label + ls gives boot there...

My /boot/grub/menu.lst:

# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd1,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/disk/by-label/boot ro
intrd /initramfs-linux.img

My /etc/fstab:

tmpfs   /tmp   tmpfs   nodev,nosuid   0   0
LABEL=boot   /boot   ext3   defaults   0   2
LABEL=root   /   xfs   defaults   0   1
LABEL=swap   swap   swap   defaults   0   0

Any suggestions would be appreciable.

It was originally uuid but I had some problems with dissapearing fstab (solved) so it was irrytating to retype all the uuids again and again...

yeah, that was the problem... I just thought it's GRUB's root, not root sensu stricto... in all the examples it was the same as it was always without separate boot I guess... I knew that of course but well... so stupid of mine... thanks!
