if your kernel hangs at startup the message is coming from the execution
of script /etc/init.d/console-screen.sh, you can look at it to see what
happens

may be you have changed the configuration file /etc/console-tools/config
or damaged in some way console-tools package, or (like one time happened
to me) deleted /dev/tty* files or installed devfs (bad thing)

hope this can help
