Unable to resolve label

I have been installing an cofiguring a ASG. After doing a lot of work, i rebooted the system. Now it cannot boot anymore.[:(]
During boot it gives me the next error:
fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=log'

I checked fstab and it has a line for LABEL=log
Also ls gives me the log files in the /var/log directory. (in "repair filesystem" mode)

How can i solve this? [:S] I dont want to start all over again

Update:
I changed the sixth field (the last one) in /etc/fstab on the line for log from 2 to 0. This made my system boot, but my log partition is not available now.
So i still need a solution, but have been able to create a backup.

Update2:
I changed the first field in the fstab line from LABEL=log to /dev/sda7 and everything works as it should now.
But how do i get that label working correclty?

On command line you should be able to set a new label for the partition:
e2label /dev/sda7 log

You can show the label by:
e2label /dev/sda7

I tried that already, and without any effect.
e2label /dev/sda7

gives me "log" but it just doesn't work.

if you have a config backup just reformat and get the system back online. if you don't..learn form this and have the system make backups every week...encrypt them...and e-mail them to you. Then reload from iso with lessons learned.
