The rescue mode of SL5 has never worked for me - all I ever get is a 
kernel panic. 32-bit, 64-bit, various hardware.

Is there anyone out there that can test/confirm rescue mode works with 
SL5.5 install media? If so what version of SL5? I'm using SL5.5 32-bit 
DVD. 

Rescue mode works in SL4, but SL4 won't necessarily recognize newer SATA
controllers. :(
