After the installed completed and the system rebooted I was unable to login to the system management account via the guy interface (i.e., after entering the password the screen went gray for a short time and then the re-presented the login display).
Does the login display show an error message, like "Wrong password" ? Or is the login screen entirely reset ?
I it is just a wrong password, check the keyboard layout : if you were using a different layout in the installer and in the login screen, you have to change that of the login screen to enter it correctly.
If the login screen is reset, maybe GNOME can't connect to your account for some reason. I saw that when I built a broken encrypted home with ecryptfs. Maybe try to login from a TTY ? (you can access TTYs with Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6, the GUI is on Ctrl+Alt+F7).
If you can't login at all, try creating a new account from recovery mode.
