Just an update
I re-installed sysvinit to no avail. While checking the log after that,
I saw that init q was working

but still no luck with tty...
That's when I realized, by chance, that changing of running level would 
bring me the tty

I tried to write an initscript to bring the system to init 3 then but 
didn't get any interesting results.
Finally, I found on the net you can setup a crontab starting with 
@reboot instead of mhdmd.
That did the trick. System is now initting to runlevel 2 then crontab 
call a script
that is '/sbin/init 3' to runlevel 3 where I get the tty.
I still don't know what is the origin of this behaviour though but I 
have a temporary solution at least!


HTH sby sday!
