Why do I have no TTY on a basic Ubuntu 9.10 server install?

I have reinstalled Ubuntu 9.10 Server several times on a bog standard 1RU server and each time I finish the install and reboot I see GRUB run and am then presented with a black screen. The machine is running just fine, as I am able to SSH in, but I can't see anything on the attached monitor. I have a simple LCD screen connected via VGA and a signal is apparently being output to it, as it doesn't go asleep.
Looking at /var/log/syslog
I see:
Mar 24 14:57:44 bridge5 rsyslogd-2039: Could no open output file '/dev/xconsole' [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2039 ]
However, I later see:
Mar 24 14:57:44 bridge5 kernel: [ 0.001368] console [tty0] enabled
Any thoughts? Thanks!
