If you use grub, you'll also need to update its configuration.  
Specifically the kernel lines.

If it isn't in the Ubuntu release notes, you can find a quick rundown at

http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f7/en_US/sn-

The information is generic.  Although I don't know if Ubuntu encourages the 
use of partition labels the way Fedora does.
