I would bet that your video driver is causing this. Did you recently
install ati's fglrx? The ttys, are started in the init script and
should be available from boot. But sometimes X will trap the keyboard
so you can't get to them.
I would start by not booting into X and see if it works, then you can
better isolate what is causing your problem. I am still betting it is
fglrx.
