You could try CTRL-ALT-F1 but i guess thats what you mean. Do the
switch user option in KDE work for you? Can you start in failsafe
mode? It looks like your console has not been setup. I tried to find
where the the consoles is started but failed, it was easier with sys-v
and /etc/init now i don't know where to look.
