Login Incorrect

Hello,
I decided to reinstall gentoo as I quite broken in with enabling the ~86 keyword

. I just finished the nasic install (grub, kernel and syslog). The system boots fine, but when I get to the login and type root and the password I specified before, I get Login Incorrect. I tried going back to the Live CD and changing the password again, but still the same problem. I also added a user and can't login with him. I followed the install instructions, and done everyting as I did on my first install. Any help will be appreciated.

Cheers,
Karol Krizka

PS: tty0 is in /etc/securetty

Hmmm, I think I found the problem. I did as you told me to, emerge shadow, and run etc-update. It seems like I used echo "tty/0" > /etc/securetty instead of >. And not having much experience, I thought that a empty securetty was OK. Well, I replced it with etc-update and can loggin. Sorry for bothering and thanks for help.
