So I foo-bared my /home partition, no big deal, done it before, and I keep good backups. I boot to single mode and get to a prompt. My regular user is gone so I try to just login at the console (no X) as root. It doesn't work. I know I set the root password.
What setting is preventing root from being able to authenticate.
In a runlevel S console perhaps the keymap isn't set, try typing in a visible field to check if you use special chars in your passwd.
