I have two systems here with new installs of archlinux,  and the problem I
described is found on both of them. Dynamic allocation of VC's works fine
up to console 6, but not for consoles 7 and higher. One system is a Lenovo
ThinkPad, and the other an Acer desktop with an AMD A6-3620 processor. Both
machines are 64 bit.

What I'm wondering is, how can I get more than 6 virtual consoles, with or
without dynamic allocation? I would prefer _WITH_ of course, but _WITHOUT_
would be okay too.
