Hi all,

I am on OpenStack Caracal, trying to rescue a VM that's not booting:

I previously created a SystemRescueCD rescue image (with openstack image create --file ./systemrescue-12.02-amd64.iso --disk-format raw --container-format bare --property hw_rescue_bus=virtio --property hw_rescue_device=disk systemrescuecd_1202) - it works on VMs that still have their base images in Glance
tried to rescue the VM (with openstack server rescue --image systemrescuecd_1202 my-vm-id-here)
but the process fails as it tries to also use the base image used to create that VM, instead of the rescue image only (Instance my-vm-id-here cannot be rescued: Driver Error: Image b78cf456-b395-434f-bf50-a1f2f3684a37 could not be found. ; where b78cf456-b395-434f-bf50-a1f2f3684a37 was a Ubuntu cloud image used to create that VM, since deleted as it's an EOL version)

Is it supposed to also try to use the base image or should the --image bypass it? In case, what could I do?

Thanks in advance
