It cannot find /dev/console on your root partition. This coule mean
either that just that file does not exist (it certainly should),
or that the partition is ext2fs but is not your root file system.
Do you have another ext2 partition which you might have pointed
it to mistakenly? (With root= on the command line or in lilo.conf?)
