your asturw partition is not mounted. If you look in the/oldroot/mnt/asturw directory after you change your password, you'll see the passwd and shadow files there, however, after you reboot, thats gone because, well, it's in ram. > I will give 1615 a try later today. Since you're still having issues, I would strongly recommend starting from scratch. Remove everything off the CF, dd the runnix.img file from here [1] to your CF, then copy the 1615 run files [2] into your os directory. Boot, without specifying your asturw partition in the KCMD line in the XXX.run.conf file. After booting, issue the command 'genunion /dev/hda2' (assuming you want to use hda2 as your unionfs partition). Follow the steps typing 'yes' where appropriate. It will tell you how to modify the XXX.run.conf file. Do that, then reboot. All should be happy.
