Installation finished. Can't login as root user! Actual Results: Can't login as root user Expected Results: Can login as root user Additional info: I dubbel checked to see if i wrote the password wrong. The password is 7 letters and ending with one number '1' Installing computer: Acer travelmate 613tx (ps. the 3d envirment worked on Red Hat 8 but not on red Hat 9)
Are there any non-ASCII characters in the password you chose?
FWIW, I've noticed a couple of German users reporting the same thing with German keyboard settings. Could it be that Y and Z (or lower-case) are in the password and get swapped due to US-keyboard being active during installation? (just a guess)
I can't reproduce this here at all. What sort of installation are you doing? How are you booting? Are there any error messages on tty3 or tty4 about loading the keymap?
