Somehow between the day before yesterday and today something got messed up in my system due to updates, I didn't do any other system work to cause it.
Could the latest pkg of filesystem have caused it? I reverted now, removed kernels, reintsall kernel, set passwd from chroot, now it boots fine but will not accept passwd for root or user
I found .gshadow~ .shadow~ files recently replaced so I moved the current ones temporarily and restored previous ones, checked everything else in /etc that was recently changed, nothing.
EDIT: I think I solved it, while trying to go back and forth between filesystem versions I discovered it was corrupt, which I don't understand how it got installed in the first place since the obarun pkgs are checked for signatures. When I downloaded and installed it again everything was fine. Somehow the pkg messed up the link /lib -> /usr/lib and together with a kernel update it built the kernel incorrectly missing something in /lib/...
