Sounds like you are using the 1.36.3 stable version of bacula-rescue,
which will not work with a 2.6.x kernel. You need to grab the latest
1.37.x development version of bacula-rescue from CVS. You do not have to
use 1.37.x versions of the other bacula programs, just the bacula-rescue
module. You will need the source for 1.36.3 installed and configured
before making the bacula-rescue stuff.
I have made a CD-R using bacula-rescue 1.37.40 compiled against the
1.36.3 source. I believe the 1.36.3 source is only needed to make the
statically linked bacula-fd daemon. In any case, I was able to create a
rescue CD-R under Fedora Core 4, boot from it, reformat the partitions,
mount the partitions, start networking, start the statically linked
bacula-fd and then run a restore job from bconsole on another machine
and restore the machine. Once all files are restored it is necessary to
install grub in order for the restored machine to boot.
So, yes, it works. There are scripts on the rescue CD to perform most of
the tasks. The script to copy the bacula-fd daemon and conf file to the
newly formatted partition did not work for me and I had to do that
manually, but hey, it worked.

Has anyone tried/been able to build a rescue CD that works with Fedora yet?
The build scripts still look for the deprecated modules.conf and raidstart
on my system, neither of which are used any longer (replaced by
modprobe.conf/modprobe.conf.dist and mdadm). I can build a CD, but a kernel
panic happens when trying to mount the root file system when starting up.
Thanks muchly,
