Hello,
in Q3.2, there was an option to boot system rescue from the installation media. In Q4, there is no longer such option. However, as MarMarek has mentioned, we can use Ctrl+Shift+F2 and commands “killall -9 anaconda; anaconda --rescue”.* This really launches the rescue. I understand why this became harder and so far, it is OK.
When I run the rescue, it asks me for my password. Then, it usually fails after taking much time. Usually, I can see that the LVM has appeared there (so the LUKS is decrypted and the password was obviously correct). I can switch to another console and mount root from there. But I wonder why it does not work straightforwardly.
