not able to log in as a user only as root
 
I installed arch on to my dell (8250) p4 and everything went great until my log in window came up I tried logging and it would not except my user name or password. I was able to get in on root and made sure the user name password was valid and it was! No matter what name / password I add with full access it will only see root

Please go through this thread:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/...all_your_USERs

If it will not solve your issue please attach the output of:
cat /etc/passwd | grep "/home"
