Well, thanks for the help guys.
When installing, I used the config from the LiveCD to build my own. It
seems that, somehow along the way (probably oldconfig?!) some serious
support was removed or marked as module. I mean the console support...
I'm pretty sure I didn't messed up with that part, and still, it
wasn't there. Well, 7 hours wasted on this, gosh...

Thanks again.
