I've sorta seen this problem too, but with gdm. If I have my kernel line setup like this:
... console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600n8
I have to stop and restart gdm (or switch to the XDMCP chooser and back) to get keyoard access. Wierd.

Are you trying to access an X login prompter, or just a plain Virtual Console tty?
