Bug Description
Whent installing 64 bit server 13.04 I noticed I could not log on to the server directly. Booting the system ends in the server displaying boot messages, but no login: prompt. None of the other tty screens seem available.
The system seems to fail any of the tty[1-6] screens and/or does not open a login service on them.
shown in 13.04 right after install and after updates.
I could access the system since I've installed openssh server.
