Sorry.
Any help? I am gonna try re-installing with a shorter r00t password.
EDIT -- I still get the error of Authentication failure with shorter easier password to type
I had this problem with Knoppix KDE but a shorter password worked for me.

Any further insights about the root password thing since last week? I just installed and I'm having a similar problem - actually if I login as a different user through KDM I can then su from a shell, but if I leave X or try to log in as root from KDM it won't authenticate me (same error as above.) weird? I've changed the password a few times (using passwd) and actually each time I get the error in a different place - at first I couldn't su once logged in as another user but COULD login as root at KDM. more weird?
