I just installed a fresh 12.04, and following a recommendation, I defined 3 partitions: root, home, and swap.

After installing some 452 updates, I restarted the computer, and found myself in a login loop - each login returned me back to the login screen.

So I logged in with Ctrl+Alt+F1, and found that my home folder is gone! "ls /home" shows no files!

Where can I find my home folder? How can I restore my system back to normal?

With $df -h look if your home partition is still there and the check the /etc/fstab file to see if that partition is mounted.
