Description of problem: MY boot-menu has only one recovery mode entry for the first stock fedora 16 kernel. All newer kernels installed via yum update have no recovery mode entries. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 16 and verify boot-menu (should contain one kernel with recovery mode) 2. Run yum update (should install a newer kernel) 3. Check once again the boot-menu. New kernel has no recovery mode Actual results: No recovery mode in boot-menu for updated kernels Expected results: Each kernel should have a recovery mode in boot-menu. E.g. 3 kernels should have 6 entries in the boot-menu (one for normal operation one for recovery mode) Additional info:
The lack of recovery entries is not a bug. It could be considered a bug that recovery entries are created at all - see bug 751898.

Recovery modes are present in all major distros for a long time now and since Fedora 16 its becoming a bug? 751898 states this as well and boot-menu passwords are the only real solution along with disk-encryption to secure your OS from unauthorized access (like booting from a live-cd or USB and mounting your harddisk). Could someone advice how to configure "back" recovery-option if its still considered as a bug so the will show up after each kernel update automatically?
(In reply to comment #3) > Recovery modes are present in all major distros for a long time now and since > Fedora 16 its becoming a bug? That is not correct. Recovery or not is discussed on bug 751898 - that is where you should comment if you want to influence anything.
