What exactly did you mount from the live disk?

Do you have a separate /home partition? If so /home in your installation should be empty, it's for mounting home partition as defined in fstab.

"chown" in a live session would not know your_username:your_username (1000:1000 should work), e.g.

Code:
chown -R 1000:1000 /where_your _home_partition_is_mounted/your_username

I did the chown from a tty on wheezy on sda so the mountpoint should have been /home, no?

Alpha2 is already nuked. But can't seem to get wheezy fixed.

Centurion_Dan solved the problem today. We set up a remote-tunnel (which was a bit complicated actually). Once he got in, it took him about 10 minutes to figure out that I had misconfigured something in fstab so login was trying to access the wrong /home. Must be getting stupid(er) in my old age . . .
