Problem logging in to fresh install of gentoo

godsmack420

I just installed Gentoo on a test machine like I have tons of times. First time I've ever had a problem like this. Heres what happens:

1.) I log in as root

2.) I get the command prompt but can't type anything

3.) After about 10 seconds I get logged out back to the Username prompt.

This happens at the console and when trying to log in from a remote machine via SSH. Anyone have a clue what could be causing this?

Something in one of your login scripts segfaulting ?

I have not created any login scripts. It has done this since the install was completed, it did this first time I tried to log into the install.

Don't know what happened or why. I reinstalled since I didn't have anything besides what I needed to run and the new install works fine, did it same way using the "Quick Install Guide" in Gentoo docs.
