It is different but where does it come from?
The first question I would ask is do you have a .bash_profile or .bashrc
file in root's home directory that has been modified?
Also, have you done anything to /etc/bashrc ? I'm fairly certain that
is where the change from PS1='\s-\v\$ ' to PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ ' should
take place. I wonder if it is even being sourced, based on the manner
of other problems you've been reporting as of late.
