How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  At boot prompt, enter: linux rescue
2.  See above message


Actual Results:  see above

Expected Results:  console

Additional info:

This is happening on two different machines.  CD's were checked prior 
to installation using the CD validation tool during setup.

I am placing this in the HIGH category as having a rescue disk is very 
important to recover a system and/or data.  Since the rescue CD is not 
working, systems cannot be rescued.  This needs to be fixed.
