> In my case, I have two Karmics installed on separate partitions, the last one was a recent nightly. Recovery mode works on neither. I can't even scroll down the fixit menu on boot up.  The screen corrupts with error messages when I try to scroll down the list and it then is frozen. I can scroll maybe one item before this happens or hit the "end" key and the next move the screen corruption occurs.  I don't know if a bug has been filed or not as I haven't googled yet but I'm sure ready to add my .02.  Not being able to use recovery mode is a critical bug, IMHO.

	I tried 9.10 on a fully updated Beta version and using the 
recovery boot it comes up with a selection board and I 
selected the last one and it did come up as a root login.

	So you might have something else causing a problem.
