Description of problem: Using the current version of the downloaded ISO image file for AMD 64 bit, the installation CD created does not provide the rescue mode as detailed at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Installation_Guide/sn-mode-rescue.html. As mine will not boot because of a grub problem, this is imperitive. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Boot from install CD and note the missing Rescue Mode. Steps to Reproduce: 1.(See above) 2. 3. Actual results: (See above) Expected results: (See above) Additional info:
Rescue mode seems to be working fine for me.
How did you find it? It sure isn't on any menu, and docs don't explain it either.
It is under the Troubleshooting menu.
Troubleshooting Start Fedora 16 in basic graphics mode. Test this media and start Fedora 16 Run a memory test. Boot from local drive Return to main menu. Press Tab for full configuration options on menu items. The menu above is the one I have. Obviously, you have something other than the latest ISO I downloaded. Hence the missing part.
Is there anyone familiar with this missing component who can help with this bug?
Ah, you are likely using the livecd. You need to use the DVD or netboot iso for rescue mode.
@Brian C. Lane, Well, finally, someone who knows. Thanks for the clarification. You are the only one who understood. Try going to all of the Fedora documentation and find what you just related to me. It doesn't exist. Even if you find it, I sure wish that was prominently displayed. I will download the other, and try again. Thank you much.
