I used F7 with my home directory on an encrypted LUKS partition for some time. Today, I blew away my root partition and installed F8 on it. Now, I can't log in with my user account. Whether logging in graphically or on the console, the system complains that /home/user can't be found. The console will log me in with / as my home directory, and kdm offers to do the same but cancels the login if I say no.
Odder still, once I'm logged in, bash has no problem finding my home directory. If I do cd ~ (as user) or cd ~user (as root), I'm put right in to my home directory.
Here's the relevant partitions:
crypttab: home_crypt /dev/sda5 none
fstab: /dev/mapper/home_crypt /home/user ext3 rw,noatime 0 0
And here's the ls -l of /home: drwx------ 45 user user 4096 2007-11-09 13:59 user
Like I said above, the partition is mounted correctly at boot time and the files are accessible to my user, and even bash resolves ~ correctly. It looks like the problem is just in login. Any thoughts?

That problem happened to me too. It's a SELinux issue: Try "setenforce 0" before logging in then you can do "setenforce 1" I have an external encrypted home directory too. Hmm probably the home is mislabeled.
