anyone in here know exactly what makes rescue mode different than normal boot in centos7?

I have a vm that boots just fine selecting rescue from the boot menu, but anything else it says Warning: /dev/centos/root does not exist etc and drops me into dracut.

This was a exported vmware vm, so I'm assuming vmware did something annoying to it.

You saw this? https://www.centos.org/forums/viewto...5b98b&start=10

Thanks! your google-fu is greater than mine. I removed the vmware stuff, but had not re-generated the initramfs. After I did that it booted right up. I owe you one.

Has nothing to do with Linux (mostly).

He said he got dropped into Dracut. I didn't know what that is so I used the Google Machine. Turns out it is a city in Massachusetts.
