[arm-allstar] First time config problem

[Emil WA2UPK]

Ran into the same problem the other day trying to set up a new node for 
a friend of mine.
He will be using it on wi-fi, so how do we do the update if you can 
never get to the
menu to setup the wifi.

I get through the "first time config" using the built in script with no trouble. I have changed the root password and not changed the root password (I've re-burnt the sd card many times in the last week). I have also changed the hostname to allstar from alertpi. The rest of the set up goes smooth, answering all questions and changing what needs changed through the ASTERISK setup. I have done and not done the simpleusb set up on different tries. When I answer yes to reboot the system I cannot get logged back in. On reboot I see Arch Linux 4.14.31-1-ARCH (tty1) then under that I get allstar login:. I use root, root or root and the password I've changed it to in set up and can not get logged in. When I press "enter" after the PW I see a couple lines of text flash on screen and then return to the login prompt
