>From /etc/initab
id:2:initdefault:
It was id:1:initdefault: before ,
Now i get the login prompt , i typed root and the password, that doesn't login
successfully, it prompts me to login again and again, may be some problem
setting root password.
I also get this after doing 'chroot "$LFS" /usr/bin/env -i HOME=/root
TERM="$TERM" PS1='\u:\w\$ ' PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin /bin/bash
--login'
root:/etc/sysconfig# passwd root
Changing password for root
Enter the new password (minimum of 5 characters)
Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
Bad password: too short.
Warning: weak password (enter it again to use it anyway).
passwd: password changed.
root:/etc/sysconfig#
Can't set password ^
Also from i can type from a to z during login prompt but i can't type ;',./
these punctuations, i get unreadable(not human readable characters) for those
punctuations
What should i do?

You are getting through rcS.d ok, but somehow running sulogin when you
shouldn't be. What are the contents of /etc/inittab?

What do you have in the file /etc/sysconfig/console?
I suggest just removing the file for now.
