Are you sure that you have TERM set correctly (to "linux")?

On my system the "underline" face displays as expected on the linux
console:  it uses bold because there's no underline support.

Here's what display-supports-face-attributes-p says for the linux console:

   (display-supports-face-attributes-p '(:underline t))
     => nil
   (display-supports-face-attributes-p '(:weight bold))
     => t

If you're using the correct TERM, what do these return for you?
