But without knowing what has scrolled off-screen I cannot be sure. We probably need to see that info as well.

If I look at the /etc/inittab file you posted in post #29 (_if_ that one is still relevant!!): It does look OK.

+1, I don't think agetty has a --noclear option

If that is the case then your kernel is probably OK the way it is.

Possible culprits that come to mind:
- Some entries in the inittab file might not be correct (re-check them all),
- LFS-Bootscripts are not/incorrectly installed (re-visit 7.6. LFS-Bootscripts-20111017),
- /sbin/agetty might not be functioning correctly.

Focus on the first 2, the third is a long shot.

BTW: Do the checking from the chrooted environment, runlevel 1 might not be flexible enough.

Hope this helps.

Ah ! Sorry, didn't see this option in the manual

Glad you finally got there - kernels can be a nuisance. You may want to save a copy of .config somewhere well away from your LFS build in case you need to rebuild at some point, simply to make things easier.
