Description of problem: Tried with 15/4/2013 iso Mageia-3-RC-i586-DVD. (Highly likely 64 bits is same, but that remains to be confirmed). From boot menu choose Rescue system. Result is that you see: "Which system do you want to rescue" and then names the current Cauldron installed here and a previous install of 3RC, and says furthermore "what is your choice....or C to abort". But Crtl +C does not work, "C" does not work, I can only exit by shutting down the machine (turn off the power). Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Whiteboard: (none) => 3RC
I should have also written: When choosing "Mount your partitions" it says "which system do you want to rescue.....". Confirmed for 64 bit DVD

Summary: Rescue system (from classical iso boot menu) not working properly => Rescue system not offering to exit root choice menu
I think this might be keyboard layout Dick. I find the same issue but after I went to console and 'loadkeys uk' (not sure how to get a list of what is available) and then trying again it now exits to a console root@rescue prompt.
Super that you found this. But the workaround should not be needed, it has always worked out of the box till now.
It did show ^C even when it was failing. Maybe a menu entry would be better instead eg: 1) Mageia (Cauldron) 3 .. etc 2) Mageia (Official) 2 .. etc 3) Quit to console
