I figured it out: the login was stuck after entering the (correct) password but only for normal users. When I logged in as root, all went fine. Then I remembered I had expanded my LVM /home partition. Afterwards I ran "mount -o remount,resize /home" but I don't think it went all that great. After rebooting, the login procedure was working again.
Now my /home is still at its original size (1GB) instead of the 2GB to which I expanded it. I guess I'll need to go to single mode to succesfully resize the partition. Bottom line: it was my own stupid mistake.
