[Solved] corrupted tty except tty1

hi
I just installed archlinux with latest iso and upon first bot I noticed that all ttys are corrupted except tty1
They look like that http://i.imgur.com/xhPDBzn.jpg

I have followed the installation guide and defined FONT and KEYMAP. But tty1 is ok so...

I have setup  FONT to ter-220b. (terminus font)

If i login blindly on such a corrupted tty and type setfont ter-220b it's ok after that. or any other font

It's a inspiron 15 dell laptop using intel HD4400

Try loading your graphics driver early as the console font may have been reset.
