> Of course. Then you probably have the wrong password or didn't install shadow properly. To get in, you can edit /etc/passwd so root's entry is: root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash Notice that the 2nd entry is null. That should get you in without a password. Then run passwd again and set your pw to whatever you want. Also, When setting the password in chroot, the /dev and /dev/pts virtual file systems must be available. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
