Description Timo Nentwig 2005-07-12 10:33:01 UTC 
I did a emerge -u world yesterday which updated a lot. Among others the kernel 
to 2.6.12 AFAIR. Well, system still boots but I cannot login. After typing 
user name/root I get a "Login incorrect" without being prompted for password 
at all. 
 
I don't remember all the packages updated. If necessary I'll try to boot from 
CD and chroot in order to find out... 

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Timo Nentwig 2005-07-12 10:33:59 UTC 
Sorry, forgot to mention that I did *not* yet install the new kernel!
Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-12 10:54:51 UTC 
You ran etc-update to update the configuration files?  
Had you pam_console as a required module for auth services?
Comment 3 Timo Nentwig 2005-07-12 12:06:11 UTC 
No. I chroot'ed the partition from live CD and ran etc-update just now but it  
tells me to have nothing to do.  
  
pam_module: as I don't completely understand the question I think "no" is the 
correct answer :)

Can you attach /etc/pam.d/login and /etc/pam.d/system-auth ?

/etc/pam.d/system-auth-1.1

There is no "system-auth" only this one.
Comment 7 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-12 12:32:10 UTC 
*That* is the problem. 
Create system-auth file to be able to login again. 
 
Then please paste emerge info.
Comment 8 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-12 12:32:17 UTC 
*That* is the problem.  
Create system-auth (copying the -1.1) file to be able to login again.  
  
Then please paste emerge info.

You don't have /etc in CONFIG_PROTECT.. please make sure your profile is sane.
Comment 11 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-02 16:47:57 UTC 
As stated.
