Then the kernel from the dvd or cd can be used.
Just booting with that kernel is not enough because it might need to load modules that aren't available on the harddisk. You have to redirect /lib/modules/<kernel-version> to the rescue CD to get a fully working system.
So a rescue system needs several options in order to boot the installed system. One, is booting kernel and modules from the CD, but switch to init on HD. This is needed if the kernel was damaged on the HD. Another, is booting the kernel on the HD entirely. This one can be used if only grub is damaged/missing. Another one? :-? - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
