device vt causes boot freeze

I installed a custom kernel with vt console driver enabled. I also enabled vt in /boot/device.hints. Now my boot process freezes just after the countdown finishes. The hard drive busy indicator is always on.
If I disable vt and enable sc at the boot loader prompt (set hint.vt.0.disabled="1", unset hint.sc.0.disabled) then I can boot fine with sc.
I did not encounter any problems during building or install.
Am I missing something in the kernel configuration file?
Am I using /boot/device.hints properly?
Can I enable both sc and vt in device.hints?
thanks
anton
