Lot of applications write stuff to the console, so the login prompt is 
often lost from the view. Just hit Enter, and it should show up.
The repeated timestamp you see must be debugging output form some app. 
If it spams too fast, the usage of the console might be very uncomfortable.

Usually, the console of a VM Guest is intended for debugging and 
recovery tasks, specially on a UNIX inspired system. You would probably 
find it more comfortable to perform the system administration via a SSH 
terminal, you even may use it to transport graphic applications to your 
desktop.
