Login on another TTY and use lsof to see what programs may be trying to 
use TTY1

I had to substitute vc/1 for tty1 because ps truncated the line. Other than 
that it completed without errors. But had no effect on the problem.

Still able to log in from other virtual consoles but get ^M on screen
instead 
of going to next line for password only on tty1.
