Sounds like the problem is that you've got two drives both using e2label
and your fstab and probably your grub config are trying to use those
labels rather than actual device names.

One solution would be to edit grub.conf and fstab and change all uses of
Label=/ Label=/var etc. to the actual device name of the partition on
hda.

ie grub.conf should say stuff like:

kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda5 ro vga=791
Not:
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz root=Label=/ ro vga=791

and in fstab you should have stuff like:

/dev/hda6     /usr      ext3    defaults,error...
Not:
Label=/usr    /usr      ext3     defaults,err...

See?
