Hi, Gentoo. When, as a normal user, I type su, followed, when prompted, by the root password, I get the following error message: su: Permission denied . The return code is 1. I can't glean anything useful from the man page. Would somebody please tell me what I'm missing. Many thanks!

The main 'trap' usually would be the SCSI Driver. If you're using PVSCSI, go into SCSI RAID, then SCSI Low Level Driver, then select VMware PVSCSI as built-in, not module. If you're using LSI Logic, select Fusion MPT instead. Thanks - i'd missed some of the MPT options.
