bash not reading ~/.bashrc



Why is it that when I switch to a text console with <Ctl>-<Alt>-<F1> that bash does not read in my ~/.bashrc?

When I pull up a terminal in X it works fine (all my command aliases are there). And when I log in to a text console, if explicitly type in the command 'bash' at the bash prompt, the new shell reads it in. But the top level shell from text login does not read it.

Any ideas?
