I decided to be clever today and encrypt my Eee PC's home partition. I followed [1] to copy all my files correctly, and [2] for creating and automounting an encrypted home partition. However, now when I try to log in, I get: login: PAM Failure, aborting: Critical error - immediate abort
Looking back, I have a feeling I neglected to do "mkdir /home" after moving /home to /old_home. Could this be causing the error? If not, any suggestions what's up. And more importantly, can anyone tell me how I'd get to single user/recovery mode? I've got Super Grub Disk [3] on a USB drive, but all i seem to be able to do with that is boot into the broken system (there's no grub menu displayed on boot from the internal drive).
