There are a couple possibilities:
- you have a "tiny" build of vim
- you have a custom version of vim built without history
- you have a console that's not passing arrow-keys the way Vim
expects
For #1, you'll want to install something like "vim-full" or a
less minimal package
For #2, don't build without the history option compiled in :)
For #1 and #2, you can check the output of
:version
to make sure it was built with +cmdline_hist
For #3, try control+P and control+N to see if they work. If so,
check your $TERM setting in the console and in Vim to make sure
they're not wacky.
