was very cautious during the upgrade process when answering all the questions 
about the config file changes, I may have done something wrong. So currently I 
cannot logon as root via the console but interestingly enough I can logon as 
normal user to X (started by xdm) and in an X terminal I can switch to root 
using su which accepts the root's pw. If I try to log on to the console 
as root, the logon simply hangs -does not even ask for a password. I 
haven't tried the console logon as normal user but will do this 
evening. Till then, if anyone has any hint, I'd appreciate that!

I think that /etc/ttys was (accidently!) overwritten, probably you'll
want something like that (in a unified format, please notice the 4th
column `off' vs `on'):
-ttyE1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" wsvt25 off secure
-ttyE2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" wsvt25 off secure
-ttyE3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" wsvt25 off secure
+ttyE1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" wsvt25 on secure
+ttyE2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" wsvt25 on secure
+ttyE3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" wsvt25 on secure
