I havent tried 2.2.5 yet, but i had similar problems (finding the rescue
image) with earlier versions, to get over it i went to the command
prompt, found my rescue image (mounted the partition it was on), renamed
it to what it was looking for then i could continue.

The rescue image was renamed recently to fix the problem of rawrite only
understanding 8.3 characters. I guess there must still some
discrepencies with what the rescue image is being created as and what it
is being called as, although i think the rescue image was found ok for
me last time using 2.2.14, so maybe this is a different problem.

Good luck
