Hi all - I was running emerge --update --deep --newuse world over the |
| 2 |
weekend when I had a power outage and my computer crashed. For some reason |
| 3 |
ever since then I cannot login. If I enter Root at the login prompt the |
| 4 |
computer thinks about it and then just returns to the login prompt. |
| 5 |
Obviously something has gone wrong with my authentication and I'm just |
| 6 |
wondering whether anyone can give me guidance on how to fix this. |

I was able to boot from the Gentoo Stage 1 Livecd and chroot into my system |
| 9 |
but resetting the password with passwd didn't work. I suspect I need to |
| 10 |
emerge the relevant modules again but don't know which ones. |

Any help would be really appreciated, thanks. Richard |
