If it's just the boot loader, fixing it is easy and takes just one reboot. If, on the other hand, the initrd is messed up, fixing it can take a lot of reboots with various attempts. Today, each of those involves a PXE boot followed by fetching the stage 2 image over the LAN. It would be a lot quicker to boot directly into a rescue image. I am considering following Lyos Gemini Norezel's example. It would be even nicer if the initrd had rudimentary recovery tools though. A busybox with cat would have helped me out a lot on at least three occassions, where I ended up repeatedly booting from rescue, unpacking the initrd, and trying to figure out what was wrong inside it. /Benny -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
