That could be a bunch of things:

    * Bad syntax in the profile file.
    * Mis-match between the subdomain_parser and the kernel version: the
      parser constructs data structures for the kernel, so if they don't
      match, they don't load. This would be a problem if you updated
      your kernel but not your parser, or vice versa.
    * Lack of root priv. when you run the subdomain_parser. For obvious
      reasons :-) you need root to load profiles, and you cannot load
      profiles from a profile-confined process.

I'm also puzzled by "stuck in console mode." Profile loading failure
leaves you without SubDomain protection, but should not otherwise hamper
normal boot-up or starting X.

Post more detailed error messages and the relevant portions of your syslog.
