System booted up, but can't login as root.
I just got my system to boot up (Scientific Linux), but at the login screen I can't login as root. It doesn't even ask for a password, just says
Code:
Login incorrect So what I see is: Code:
localhost login: root Code:
login: root Code:
init 3 ; sleep 10 ; tail /var/log/messages > ~/log I'm also doing a network boot, so I'm working with a root fs image that isn't written to upon booting. So maybe I can't check system logs after all? |
Does PAM have any dependencies in /usr/lib? Is anything in /usr/bin required for a basic boot? Those directories are both basically empty in my root fs. I was thinking of adding things to them later. For now I just need to get this boot and login working.

Ah, the issue was actually with the login binary's libraries. I checked another, similar system that I had, and it showed that login depended on some libraries in /usr/lib, namely libcrack.so.2.8.0 and some version of libglib. My own /usr/lib in this image I'm creating was empty. After copying in libcrack* and libglib*, I was able to log in just fine.
