aditya.gaur, what makes you think you have the same issue?
Many things can stop root from logging in.. First being configuring root access only allowed from console...( so you have to connect yourself first then su...)

My 2 cents:
What is in root's profile normal users dont have? (and/or the other way round )

When I see:
Code:
crt0: ERROR couldn't open dld.sl errno:000000002

I rarely believe dld.sl missing but more complaining (about crt0...)
in /usr/lib:
Code:
lrwxr-xr-t   1 root       sys             19 Jun 23  2003 crt0.o -> /usr/ccs/lib/crt0.o

and in /
Code:
lrwxr-xr-t   1 root       sys              8 Jun 23  2003 lib -> /usr/lib

Have you noticed that t at the end of the permissons? Yes this is no simple symbolic link but what HP calls a transition link, and for that you have marvellous commands like:
tlinstall, tlremove, tllist

So all at your man pages now!

securetty

SECURETTY(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						      SECURETTY(5)

NAME

       securetty - file which lists terminals from which root can log in

DESCRIPTION

       The file /etc/securetty contains the names of terminals (one per line, without leading /dev/) which are considered secure for the transmis-
       sion of certain authentication tokens.

       It is used by (some versions of) login(1) to restrict the terminals on which root is allowed to login.  See login.defs(5) if  you  use  the
       shadow suite.

       On  PAM	enabled  systems,  it  is  used  for  the  same purpose by pam_securetty(8) to restrict the terminals on which empty passwords are
       accepted.

FILES

       /etc/securetty
