We just downloaded the iso version of RedHat 6.1 and upgraded to it on one machine. We can't find rescue.img in the images directory on the CD. It also seems to be missing from the distributions on a mirror site. When we boot from the boot floppy made with mkbootdisk and choose rescue, the message is a bit different than in previous versions, but it does seem to expect us to insert a floppy from which to copy a root file system to a ramdisk. While I'm at it, I should also note that the upgrade procedure does not give an opportunity for making a boot floppy. That boot floppy has saved many of us a lot of trouble in cases where something went wrong in the installation. Removing that step was big mistake.
rescue.txt as referred to in /usr/doc/rhl-rg-6.1en/s1-basics-rescue-mode.html is also missing from the iso image.
Boot one of the boot disks (or CD) with 'linux rescue'. It's an oversight in the documentation.
So when I use mkbootdisk and make a boot disk specific to my system there is no way to load a rescue image with it, no image to put on a floppy for when it prompts: "VFS: Insert root floppy disk to be loaded into RAM disk and press ENTER" Likewise when I boot on the CD or install floppy: Enter "linux rescue" at the lilo: prompt, Choose language and keyboard, What do I choose at the "What type of media contains the rescue image?" screen that offers options of "CD" or "hard drive"? I have no rescue.img on the CD.
Rescue mode has changed completely, in that there is really not a rescue.img, instead the installed just drops into a shell. So, telling the installer that you would like to get the rescue image from the cdrom will do the right thing and leave you at a shell prompt.
*** Bug 5914 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** neither rescue.img or rescue.txt is on the cd as referenced in the documentation
*** Bug 6387 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** On page 63 of the Reference Guide for Red Hat Linux 6.1, it talks about how to make the second of the two rescue floppy disks. (The first is the boot disk.) It states that in the directory /images of the first CD, there should be a file named rescue.img. That file is not present, and the command: find . -name rescue.img ...returns nothing when run from /mnt/cdrom
*** Bug 6394 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I just purchased and installed RedHat 6.1. The install went OK, but when I went to create my "Rescue" boot diskette, I couldn't find the "rescue.img" file. The book says its on the CD in the images directory, but it is not there. I've been using RedHat since 3.2 and I don't remember it being anywhere else. Thoughts?
