Hi,

The Rescue VM needed updating as its 4.19.x kernel was getting too
old, e.g. not able to mount XFS filesystems as created by CentOS
Stream 8 and Fedora:

It has now been updated to a Debian 11 (bullseye) system with
bullseye-backports (5.15.x) kernel.

I've done basic testing but please do let us know if you encounter
any difficulties using it.

Cheers,
Andy
