My problem is, the prompt sign for both normal user and root are the same: '$'. Instead of '#' for root.
Don't you need to be editing /root/.bashrc or /root/.profile with your custom root prompt? Assuming you always want a full login shell when su-ing to root, then this file will be read each time you su -.
edit: Also, you might find you need to export the PS1 variable in /etc/profile:
Code:
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
if [ "$BASH" ]; then
PS1='\u@\h:\w\$ '
if [ -f /etc/bash.bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bash.bashrc
fi
else
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
PS1='# '
else

export PS1
