Are the gettys running?
Check with ps:
$ ps aux | grep '[g]etty'
root 3552 0.0 0.1 1500 412 tty1 Ss+ Jul03 0:00 /sbin/getty
38400 tty1
root 3560 0.0 0.1 1500 412 tty2 Ss+ Jul03 0:00 /sbin/getty
38400 tty2
root 3561 0.0 0.1 1500 412 tty3 Ss+ Jul03 0:00 /sbin/getty
38400 tty3
root 3562 0.0 0.1 1500 412 tty4 Ss+ Jul03 0:00 /sbin/getty
38400 tty4
root 3563 0.0 0.1 1500 412 tty5 Ss+ Jul03 0:00 /sbin/getty
38400 tty5
root 3564 0.0 0.1 1500 412 tty6 Ss+ Jul03 0:00 /sbin/getty

If not, you can start them, e.g.:
sudo getty tty1 38400 linux
To ensure that they start on bootup, check the entries in /etc/inittab:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
