Folks, the rescue kernel boots to maintenance mode, but at least I can login and actually type stuff and see it. df shows that /dev, /dev/shm, /run, /, /home, /boot and /tmp are all mounted. What I need to do now is mount an external USB drive and copy everything over. I am not sure what I need to do. I tried adding a USB drive but it's not detected. It's curious that maintenance mode on other kernels is unusable.
