Hmm, I thought I had done that.  I do have a separate boot partition. (All 
my linux partitions are ext3.)  I tried making the change again, and while I 
got the same warning, I was able to successfully boot.  (BTW, first I tried 
pci=noacpi instead of acpi=off, but that failed miserably.)  I still don't 
understand why I didn't get the warning message (and root=LABEL=/ worked) 
with 2.4.18 or 19.

Thanks.
