I had an inspiration and disabled SELINUX by > adding "enforcing 0" at the end of the kernel line in grub.conf. that made the password prompt appear and I was able to login as root several times. After that, I installed with yum at the command line X (with nvidia drivers from rpmfusion) and then did a yum groupinstall 'Gnome Desktop Environment' yum groupinstall XFCE without noticing any errors. Then I set inittab to runlevel 5, rebooted and got the graphical login screen. Logged in as root, found everything OK in Gnome, created a normal user and rebooted. Since then, root password doesn't work anymore. If I login as the other user it works, but if I login as root or type "su -" I get a "password incorrect" message. If I boot in single mode and set again the root password I get "all authentication tokens updated successfully" but the password doesn't last. Next login as root, I get "password incorrect' again Any idea on what the problem could be now and why is only the root account having it?
