Is there such a thing as a CentOS rescue disk?
Google gives many links to such a thing, but when I pursue them I do not get to an URL
where I can actually download one.

  • hi,

    officially from CentOS project, they doesn’t have this kind of thing. you can use CentOS installation dvd/cd for rescuing your system.

    Thanks, I’ll try that.

    I actually found that a Fedora-20 Live CD (on a USB stick)
    did the trick. After booting into the Troubleshoot option and then choosing “Boot from local disk”
    it actually found the current CentOS-6.5 system and booted into it.

    I was quite surprised as the system had two other OSes on it –
    a Fedora-20 partition and an old CentOS partition. I assume the rescue found and used the setup in the /boot partition.

    But if it can do this, it seems a pity that grub cannot offer at least an alternative to the flashing “-” it was showing me.

    It also seems a pity that the CentOS Live CD
    does not offer a similar Troubleshooting option.
