Now find the line that is causing the invalid argument chroot and run login and see what happens. Also, install strace and run login and see what happens.

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

[lfs-support] Unable to login
I build LFS 7.4 from the book. It boots all-right but I cannot login: login: root password: xx crypt: Invalid argument Trying another user fails too. I double checked inittab and the shadow-build, but found no faults. The same goes for the kernel-config file. What can be the reason of the failing login?
