No login on tty1-6

OS: SuSE 9.3 Pro After shutting down due to a power failure (before the UPS ran down), I tried bringing the system back up. The graphical (KDE) login works fine but switching to tty1 - 6 works but there is no login prompt but a blank screen. I have been running 9.3 Pro since its release last April and have never seen anything like this. Rebooting did not fix it. The boot messages only indicate spamd failed to start. Any idea as to what may be wrong and what to do about it? Hardware is Dell 600SC with Adaptec 39160 SCSI controller. No changes here. Thank you, Lucky Leavell
