This has now happened.
If you have an instance of the rescue VM running from before, it
will now be throwing I/O errors and be very unhappy. You should:
1) Go back to the Xen Shell menu (either by doing ctrl-a then c to
create a new window, or else using ctrl-] to exit the console)
and use the "destroy" command to kill it.
2) Exit completely out of the Xen Shell (repeatedly do ctrl-d, or
type "exit") and log back in to it again; you should see version
v1.48bitfolk56 when you log in.
3) Type "rescue" again to boot a new instance.
Cheers,
Andy
