Hrm. Interesting.
I believe hvc0 is your console on this VM and it looks like a getty is running.
Have you tried killing the agetty on hvc0 (process 4143). It should
respawn. If it doesn't, send a -HUP signal to init. That should force
init to re-read /etc/inittab and respawn missing processes.
You may need to trace the getty process and see what it's doing at the time.
