Some time ago someone said > You could have used "rescue" mode of the install cd's to fix your issue > vs doing a new install. 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. :(
