Package: installation-reports

Installing amd64 as a domU in xen

At the first prompt for root password, just hit enter

At the second prompt, type a password

No password-mismatch error is displayed, installer proceeds to setting up a user account

Once rebooted, root login impossible using blank password or the `repeat' password

Mount the root fs (e.g. from dom0 or another OS), inspect /etc/shadow:

root:!:14932:0:99999:7:::


/etc/shadow can be fixed by copying an entry from a working /etc/shadow file
