[ale] Login Problem

I just had the most bizarre problem. I just installed Linux on
my laptop and made myself a user account (chrish). Last night
I could log in fine and move about with no problems -- however
since I recompiled my kernel, I can log in as "chrish" but it
says "Can't find /adm/home/chrish!" and it chucks me back out
to the login prompt.

As root, I try "su - chrish" and not only do I get a similar
message, but I also get a "Permission Denied" message when it
tries to exec my shell (/bin/tcsh).

Help? Thanks!
chrish
