I was wrong with that word, indeed, I meant 'quiet'. I get the kernel messages
on another tty.
The problem of the blacked tty was caused by a wrong vga=### option. Before
Kubuntu, I used as kernel option 'vga=0x31a' (with SuSE). When I use this with
Kubuntu, all tty's are black. When I use 'vga=791' (as Kaj suggested) result is
black as well. So, now I have to figure out how to use a reasonable console
resolution that works. (and how strange that it doesn't work anymore . . .)

Thanks for the help!
