Please help. I can't logon to my system as root. I'm running testing on a AMD Athlon 1600XP machine with 256MB RAM and 40GB hard disk.

I used to be able to login but I upgraded some packanges and now I can not login as root on the console nor via gdm. I can login as a normal user but when I try to "su" I get a segfault. The password is definately correct as I get different responses for wrong passwords. When the password is correct I see the welcome to Debian 3.0 message but then it throws me straight out.

Please help as I can not do any more apt-get upgrades or other sys admin maintenance. Please reply to me with "reply all" as well as the list.

Thanks,
Brendan Simon.
