I don't have this problem on 2.4.18, but I did on 2.5 kernels. On my
box, it had something to do with the display manager (kdmh). When I
boot to runlevel 3 and run startx manually (without kdm) I have no
virtual console problems. That's my workaround for now.

I don't know what causes the problem. If anyone else has an idea to
share, that'd be great.
