Can you check your logs and see if getty is complaining about the tty being already in use?
or perhaps try something like (not actually tested in this form):
for i in `seq 1 1000` ; do \ echo before > /dev/tty7 ; \ strace -ttogetty-trace.$i getty 38400 tty7 linux ; \ echo after > /dev/tty7 ; \ done
switch to tty7 (or whatever you use, make sure nothing else like is using it --- that means comment out of inittab) and then see if you see delays between the 'before' and the actually logic prompt --- or as I see in some cases the getty exist without printing anything.
If this is the case for you then I'll have a quick poke at why getty things the tty is in use (which is what is apparently causing it here).
Please let me know what getty (version, etc) you are using and what distro and other relevant things as it might be a bug specific to some distro's and not others as few people have reported this.
Thanks,
