The 2 most recent times I've installed gentoo I have been locked out of the console. root has access, but no other user does.

I can ssh in no problem, just when I try and login through a monitor + keyboard attached i get this

Code:

login: sharpie
Password:

login:


no errors nothing. Also When I look at /var/log/everything/current for that session, it just says

Code:
[login(pam_unix)] session opened for user sharpie by (uid=0)


Anyhelp would be wonderful thanks guys

you probably dont have the shell specified for the user. Try
Code:
usermod -s /bin/bash

When I try to run top from my non-root user when i'm sshed in I get this..

$ top
Illegal instruction

Could this mean that I used the wrong compile options. most other programs i've tried work. Any thought would be great
