[Solved] Fedora 15, 14 : Can't login using tty 1~6

From Fedora 14 , its not allowed to login  using tty.
Neither root nor other users can login using tty.
This problem is caused by a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/
So i deleted all the files in that folder.











Dont worry, it wont do any harm, I tested it in my F15
reboot the system

Now you can login using tty.
Some of the deleted files are automatically created after the reboot
