it is trying to read from /home.
/mnt/hda4 has nothing to do with it that I can see.
/dev/hda1 is your root directory, and since you don't explicitly have a
partition for your /home directory, then /dev/hda1 is where it is going
to try to put /home.

check (as root) to see that you *DO* have a directory name /home.
and do a ls -l of it. you should see a /home/bmike1 directory there.
if not, you need to create one by doing: mkdir /home/bmike1 && chown
bmike1.bmike1 /home/bmike1 && chmod 775 /home/bmike1

when you su to bmike1 use the dash option like so: su - bmike1, and not
su bmike1. the dash "completely" logs you in, replacing your current
environment with bmike1's. otherwise, you get a merge of the two.

report back your findings.
