I login in single user mode successfully (at least there are no errors I see during the boot), type passwd, enter twice the new root password and I get a "all authentication tokens were updated successfully" message. I see that /etc/shadow is updated. But when I reboot is always the same story: I get the login prompt, type root, after a few seconds I get the login prompt again, the pc never asks for a password. What next?
