LinuxQuestions.org - Lost home directory and problems starting KDE (SUSE 9.3)

I ran the system repair tool and somehow this removed the entry to mount the partition which I had setup as home. When I logged in as user it told me that /home/user! is not found.

This is /etc/fstab as it stands now (after I edited the fstab file to reload the partition that used to house home):

Code:

/dev/hda6            /                    ext3      acl,user_xattr        1 1

/dev/hdd1            /mnt/Media          ntfs      ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

/dev/hdc1            /mnt/WinLin          vfat      users,gid=users,umask=0002,utf8=true 0 0

/dev/hda1            /mnt/WinProgs        ntfs      ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0

/dev/hda5            swap                swap      pri=42                0 0

devpts              /dev/pts            devpts    mode=0620,gid=5      0 0

proc                /proc                proc      defaults              0 0

usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                0 0

sysfs                /sys                sysfs      noauto                0 0

/dev/dvdrecorder    /media/dvdrecorder  subfs      noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0

/dev/fd0            /media/floppy        subfs      noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0

/dev/hda3            /home                auto      noauto,user          0 0

/dev/hda3 was the original partition with the home directory for my user. The mount there was my attempt to resurrect it. I now fear that I have deleted the original home directory for the user as I have recreated /home/user.

The bigger issue is that I suspect that this is causing KDE and the xserver not to start. How can I fix the xserver?

It gives me a Could not start kstartupconfig. I am able to issue a startx from the console as root and KDE loads.
