error: 'login incorrect'. As root, enter the command 'su a' and not prompted for a password. 'less /etc/shadow' shows the password for the user. Interestingly, 'su a' results in the cursor 'pwd' to be the root home directory and not '/home/a'.
Yes, according to the successful initiation of an x session when signed in as root and the driver installation test instructions.

Ok. Could you try resetting the password for user a? You could do this (as root) with: passwd a And then try again to login to a tty. Just to be sure: you do realise that the password shown in /etc/shadow is the encrypted password and not the literal string to type in? (no offence). mvg, Guus

since your home folder is from another installation, be sure to chown the directory. If the user ids differ, you won't be able to access it
