Hello all !

Last time I have reboot my pc, I cannot log anymore into my gentoo system.
When I put the username: seventh / root it doesn't ask me the password and it asks me to put again the username, like if i have mistanken my password.
I think it is because the filesystem is mounted in Readonly. Although I do not know how to solve this.
I thought that the best way of solving this, was on booting with a Gentoo 2005.1 livecd, in order to chroot the mounted filesystem and to modify the /etc/fstab file.

But i am not sure if it is the best way solving this problem.

Can someone tell me how can I know if the real problem is this or no?


Thanks a lot helping me, a quick answer would be apreciated.

I don't think you need to write to the disk to verify your password, so probably no need to alter /etc/fstab.

Thanks for your answer,
but it is not a password problem, the machine doesn't even allow me to enter the password.
thanks a lot
