Warning: Unable to open an initial console
This usually means /dev/console doesn't exist. With many of
today's distributions, this means you didn't boot with a
initrd properly set up to run with your newly built kernel.
The device /dev/console exists, but init/main.c tries to open it
read-write. As the nfsroot is mounted read-only, /dev/console cannot be
opened read-write.
That doesn't sound right, but hum... try mounting noatime, perhaps some
additional checking is being done.
Note: I'm pulling that out of the air, I haven't had a problem with it.
Dare I assume that you checked the major,minor and all that good stuff?
