Description Georges Eckenschwiller 2014-02-22 11:23:46 CET

Description of problem:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I make a netinstall. The installation raises no more problem.
(boot-nonfree.iso of february 21st, mdkinst.sqfs of of february 19st)

2. At the restart, the impossible to connect me.
I suspected at first the lightdm manager. In reality it seems to work, but cannot open a session.

3. I then wanted to know the contents of the user directory. There is no user directory. The directory /home is completely empty. No user, no lost + found, as with mga4, in exactly the same conditions.

Reproducible:

Hello,

I do not know if it is bound:
After having delete the user and recreate ti with useradd -m,
I can connect.

And there, I notice that my partitions are not mounted.

/etc/fstab contains only the line
none /proc proc defaults 0 0

I have just realized a new try of installation.
The problem is always present.

The installation is normally made, but the connection is impossible after the restart. The user directory is not still created.
I cannot test the rest!!!
