Need your help with fstab.

Due to above problem in mounting of partitions,
tried to add entries in fstab to circumvent the problem.
Unfortunately, system does not start and hangs with errors at command 
line. Luckily started my Hardy at another partition and reverted the 
fstab entries at Jaunty and I can restart Jaunty again.

Maybe my fstab 'fu' is not good enough and maybe Kde4.3 beta works in 
mysterious ways. I append my fstab entries below

<<start>>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# / was on /dev/sda5 during installation
LABEL=Kde4     /               ext3    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
# swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
/dev/sda6 none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0


#LABEL=Kde4 /               ext3 auto,users,rw,relatime 0 0

LABEL=Dee none ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0

LABEL=Volt none ext4 defaults 0 2

LABEL=Kde3 none ext3 defaults 0 2
<<end>>

Notes:

I like to use labels rather than /dev/sdx or UUID, partitions are in 
same disk anyway.

#LABEL=Kde4 line (without #) is what hangs system, don't know why.
So had to use back LABEL=Kde4 line (without #,without#)

LABEL=Dee, LABEL=Volt, LABEL=Kde3 lines is my attempt to automount.
Doesn't work for either NTFS, ext3 or ext4. This is where I need your 
advice. Did I get anything wrong?

Also, at one time before installing Kde4.3 beta, tried to test swap by 
swapon, swapoff and changing entry of /sda6. I hope it does not mess up 
the fstab. Anybody installed Kde4.3 without this problem?

Anyway, this is not a dire situation as Jaunty is intact with Kde4.3 and 
I can still manually mount all partitions at terminal. But would 
appreciate your input.

Thanks.

I have not lost my mind - it's backed up on disk somewhere.
