i use rungetty (http://www.ndn.net/rungetty.html?/). i use it on two of
my other linux boxes with no problem. 

just for kicks, i tried running agetty instead. same problem.

btw, i don't remember if i mentioned this before, but if i boot into
single user mode and login, everything is fine. of course, that uses
/dev/console instead of /dev/tty[1-7].
