I've finally got Gentoo installed on my wife's computer except for one small hitch; it won't let me set root's password. I tried it locally (sitting at her computer) and it gave me an error, so I started up the sshd server and ssh'd over from my PC and tried it again getting the same error. I have pasted the output below:
livecd / # passwd Illegal instruction livecd / # passwd root Illegal instruction livecd / # Is there a way to fix this? What went wrong? I updated the shadow package, but other than that I can't think of anything that would cause this. I can set root's password before I go into the chrooted environment, but when I'm actually in the chrooted environment I get the output you see above... -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
