That doesn't look like the right syntax to me

root=LABEL is fine, if you've set a label on the partition already.
the extra =/ looks wrong tho

Here on my RH9 it has root=LABEL=/ . I think this means it'll choose the root partition based on the label (which label, I'm not so sure) so that you don't have to know whether it's hda3 or hda46.

For me, root(h0,0) points at the partition for /boot (/dev/hda1 in my case). Which is why it's kernel /vmlinuz.... ie, relative to /

grub.conf
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.22-rc2)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-rc2 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi
        initrd /initrd-2.4.22-rc2.img

Mount:
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/hda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
