I can change to virtual consoles, but there aren't login prompt there.
I wait to finish the boot process, but after it the login prompt
doesn't appear. It appears only after graphical login.

That's weird - so there's nothing on your virtual consoles? Check that
you have something like in your /etc/inittab - I can't think of why you
wouldn't, but ...

# getty-programs for the normal runlevels
# <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process>
# The "id" field MUST be the same as the last
# characters of the device (after "tty").

2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2
3:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3
4:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4
5:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5
6:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6

I don't have an 11.0 system with GUI, so I can't check, but surely
somebody does.
