We've moved to GRUB 2 as a development platform. Please can you check if this bug still applies there, and if it does, reopen it?

Thanks

Currently the `df` command is used to get the device name. It is supposed to return lines in the form of: /dev/devicename ...
When I had Red Hat 7.3 distribution, it worked properly. But when I began using SuSE 9.1, it failed, because for root filesystem df returned "LABEL=/" instead of "/dev/hda2". I always use mounting by label, but df always used to return apropriate device name in Red Hat 7.3. Even more, df also returns device names for all filesystems except root, though they all are mounted by label. So it seems to be a bug in kernel or in mount (not in df, because df version from Red Hat 7.3 behaves the same way).
