After disabling X on startup, no login ttys are offered on the console.

I don't see any login prompt in any of the tty[1-6], just a line saying "* Starting Automounter [OK]"

I have all the getty processes running and if I kill one, it respawn correctly.

root      1662     1  0 Sep28 tty4     00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty4
root      1668     1  0 Sep28 tty5     00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty5
root      1684     1  0 Sep28 tty2     00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty2
root      1685     1  0 Sep28 tty3     00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty3
root      1688     1  0 Sep28 tty6     00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty6
root     11278     1  0 Sep29 tty1     00:00:00 /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1

Any clue? TIA

When you deactivated your X server at startup, did you remember to add nomodeset to the proper GRUB line? In /etc/default/grub edit this line to look like

        GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"

then run update-grub.

You system video drivers somehow messed up.

Try to give nomodeset parameter by editing grub during boot and see if that helps.
