I would bet that your video driver is causing this. Did you recently install ati's fglrx? The ttys, are started in the init script and should be available from boot. But sometimes X will trap the keyboard so you can't get to them. I would start by not booting into X and see if it works, then you can better isolate what is causing your problem. I am still betting it is fglrx.
