Perhaps it isn't really helped, but just hide the problem, changing some
another race time parameters.
I use 80x30 text mode on all screens.

Ctrl-PrtScr does nothing too.

No, Ctrl-Alt-ESC works for vt at every phase of the system lifecycle.

Just to not forget it, I use PS/2 keyboard and have no vt* lines in the
kernel config.
