I had similar problems (100% cpu load, no console switching possible) after kdm start had been ported to upstart. I solved the problem by modifying the upstart configuration file for kdm:

       start on (filesystem
++ and stopped udev-finish
      and started hal)

This ensures that the virtual console devices are set up properly before the X server starts.
