I just tried installing Debian onto my new EeePC 901 using the specific
installer. I chose expert mode, and chose to make a squeeze machine with
just the standard system chosen in tasksel.
When the system rebooted, I tried to log in as root, but it refused to let
me in. I tried to log in as my mortal user, but it didn't even give me a
password prompt. Rebooting in single user mode, it said that the root
account was locked, and spawned a shell.
Running passwd unlocked the root account. The user account didn't even
exist, which was fixed by running adduser.
So, I have solved the problems for myself, but this could trip up people
quite easily.
