I've just completed getting gentoo booted as guest in vbox vm. I'm having a peculiar problem. I cannot call `su -' or `su root' and login as root.
I can still get to root by `ssh root@localhost' having set up /etc/sshd_config while still chrooted during install. Still no getting to root by way of `su -' or `su root' I just get the `Permission denied' message. I've never had this happen before over many installs of various linux distros. I did try ssh root@localhost and then resetting root passwd while logged in as root, but still no getting to root by `su -'. Any ideas whats might be wrong.
