        Right now I think that it can't talk to the console or init uses a
function in ld.so.1 to spit a message to the console and is failing to load
So what is /dev/console on your system?

I know that it used to be  a  symlink  to  /dev/ttyS0  on  sme  older
systems,  which doesn't work any more. Make sure you have a character
device major 5 minor 1, i. e. something like that:

crw-r--r--   1 root     root       5,   1 Mar 22  2000 /dev/console
