[gentoo:installation] unable to login with root
hi everyone,
there is a problem. I downloaded Gentoo and burnt it on CD. I did boot the livecd and the system passed starting stage and it recognised my hardware. After that, there is livecd login prompt, and obviously I tried to use root and no password but it says login incorrect. This is what I did: Code:
livecd login: root Hmm any ideas here ? |
If you are planning on toying with gentoo, you'd better get into the habit of reading the (excellent) provided doco.
I haven't touched gentoo in years, but the answer to this was quickly found in the (liveDVD) FAQ. |

What is the point of reading LiveDVD if you follow steps from the website that tells you what to do and what to download and all of a sudden, you have to set up the password manually ?
anyway.. I have not found the solution in the faq, rather, it was on another forum. Solution: It's auto-scrambeled. So, we have to add it as an option while booting the system Code: Quote:
