The configuration menu has changed recently so that support for normal console operation is not included by default. To activate the usual console on VT and on VGA requires selecting options that are buried in the 'Character device' 'Input device' and 'Graphics support' menu sections. Go all the way to the bottom of each section and you will see the obvious items you need to select. Rather a confusing change.
