Ours is also connected to a KVM switch, and that switch uses the scroll lock key to bring up a menu of machines it's connected to (I've never seen it, but that's how it was described to me). Someone else suggested that maybe scroll lock was on on the first virtual terminal, causing the console to block. This seems likely to be the cause of the problem, and I'll have someone check it out when the office opens back up after the holiday.
