I'm not sure what you mean by "rescue session." Do you mean booting from a rescue disk? Hadn't tried that.
Yes. Booting the dvd and typing: linux rescue should load the rescue environment {or using the rescue iso}.
BTW, that brings up something else strange. I booted from the rescue disk so I could delete the /forcefsck and /fsckoptions files. What the rescue disk asked for was where the Fedora 7 CD images were (hard disk, HTTP, FTP, CD-ROM, etc.) for repair.
That seems that either
- what it found on your rescue cd was corrupt - ie not readable
- you might have been using the boot.iso - which has the booting part,
but doesn't have the stage2 img {50+ MB} in it.
In either case, testing the cd would be useful. You could: dd if=/dev/scd0 of=fedora-rescue.iso sha1sum fedora-rescue.iso compare to the published SHA1SUMs for that rescue CD.

Same disk. On one system it (the rescue CD) works as expected, but on another it doesn't. Like I said: strange. Could be the CD drive--easy to test.
