TTY unlocatable?

So I've been using CentOS on cloud servers and at work for maybe 3 months.
I've never once ever had the chance to fool with the GUI, i really don't want to....
I'm unable to shutdown and bring up my TTY for some reason.
when I ctrl+ALT+F1 - F6 it won't bring up to a TTY... I sudoed root and installed the necessary system files to allow the system to recognize and use the TTY... still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Welcome to CentOS.
New users should read:
http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewforum.php?forum=47

Those virtual terminals are only useable from the physical console, not from an ssh login or from
some java console.
