You aren't per chance running a display manager on tty1 (default changed
a while ago because someone 'felt' that running the GUI on anything but
the first VT was 'morally inappropriate') in a runlevel different from 2
or 3?

/sbin/runlevel should print the current and previous runlevels. You
could also look if there are actually any gettys runnning,

ps faux | grep get[t]
