I was gonna ask if this happened right after your kernel upgrade but
then you answered it! :)
I had the same problem when I upgraded to 2.4.0-test11... then I
realized I forgot to compile the virtual terminals in my kernel.
I couldn't hurt to take a look in there and make sure it is still
compiled in there.
Maybe someone else has a more substantial answer. :)
