Redhat Rescue Mode

Rescue mode provides the ability to boot a small Red Hat Enterprise Linux environment entirely from boot media or some other boot method instead of the system’s hard drive.

There may be times when you are unable to get Red Hat Enterprise Linux running completely enough to access files on your system’s hard drive. Using rescue mode, you can access the files stored on your system’s hard drive, even if you cannot actually run Red Hat Enterprise Linux from that hard drive. If you need to use rescue mode, try the following method:

Using the CD-ROM to boot an x86, AMD64, or IntelĀ® EM64T system, type

linux rescue

at the installation boot prompt. Itanium users should type elilo linux rescue to enter rescue mode.
