There's never any grub2 rescue mode entry; you must mean "recovery mode", which boots into single-user mode. This is the grub2 manual resolution: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#GRUB-only-offers-a-rescue-shell (By the way, your reply-to address is "John Foster"@liszt.debian.org rather than your sending address, jfoster81...@gmail.com.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
