(stand-alone home workstation; f30; Gnome)
Well, as I noted when I closed the "prep. for upgrade." thread, I'm
getting hints of hardware trouble. I thought I'd start by testing
memory (memtester). My understanding is that it's best to do that with
as little else as possible running. So I re-booted. In the grub menu,
I chose the line
"Fedora (0-rescue-[32 hex digits]) 30 (Thirty)"
which is the 4th line in my grub menu. A thick line of various shades
of a bluish color appeared at the bottom of the screen, with "Fedora 19"
at the right end. The line turned white starting from the left end,
working slowly towards the right. Then in the middle of the screen, the
message
"NVIDIA kernel module missing. Falling back to nouveau"
appeared. Nothing else happened for over 5 minutes, at which point I
did a manual hard reset.
1. The grub menu entry and the boot progress line contradict each other.
2. The rescue mode fails to completely boot.
My preference is for the rescue mode to use the most recent release
practical up to and including f30 (not 31!). I do now have Fedora live
on a USB stick, but as I noted (in different words) when I closed the
"prep. for upgrade" thread, it's glitchy. So I'd like to have this
second fall-back.
How do I rescue the rescue mode?
