The UML kernel in SuSE 9.2 has a similar-seeming issue.  In the startup 
messages do you see a complaint "cannot register UML console driver"?  If 
so, none of your consoles (/dev/tty1, /dev/tty2...) will be in existence 
and all your gettys will die.

The minor device numbers for the UML consoles are 0..15, while the numbers
for the regular virtual consoles are 0..63.  The UML consoles are 
registered later, and they lose, whereas the regular VC's don't seem to be 
able to do anything with the (nonexistent?) framebuffer.  I'm not sure, but 
I suspect that the VC's should have been suppressed entirely when the 
kernel was built.  Is this possibly your situation?  I'd be curious to know 
if suppressing the VC's is helpful.
