Okay that tells me the login actually worked from the perspective of
logind, but something else prevented the next step.  My first guess
would be SELinux or maybe some sort of permissions problem in the home
directory.  Not sure how to check for SELinux issues, some ausearch
incantation in emergency mode would be best.  But otherwise, you could
try booting with enforcing=0 among your kernel arguments and see if you
can login.  And of course checking permissions is easy from emergency
mode.

Hope this helps,
