Quite often I lose my Login: or Password: prompt, caused by something
having the effect of sending Ctrl-A Ctrl-K to the console—a minor
inconvenience that I've never bothered to investigate.
But I've never managed to lose both the /etc/issue output and the
Login: line.
If pressing Enter doesn't work, it might be that the "main" VC is
broken; perhaps try switching to another VC with Alt-→ and seeing
if a Login: prompt appears there.
OTOH perhaps the /sbin/agetty is completely screwed up.
Cheers,
David.
