Sounds like this may be the following issue with console configuration,
although if it isn't put your config up somewhere and I'll have a peek.
Do you have the following enabled in your .config?

CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y

I quote Duncan Sands from lkml

"Most likely you chose to compile the input system as a module, which
caused the console options to be autohorribly deselected.  Just say 'y'
for the input subsystem, at which point the console options will
reappear, letting you select them."
