Bug#604081: root password mismatch
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
