I found the cause of it buried in one of my scripts.
Here it is:
$ROOTCMD echo -e "$ROOTPW\n$ROOTPW" | passwd root
which actually changes the root pass of FAI itself
and not the root pass of the client being installed
in /target
Changed to this now:
$ROOTCMD usermod -p "$ROOTPW" root

I think this is a log log from changing the root pw inside the chroot
of /target. You should verify, if really the hash in /etc/shadow is
changed.
Using alt-F2 or alt-F3 you can always get a shell without login in.
