kernel panic - no /dev/console



howdy all 
I've got a box with a custom 2.4.18 kernel (customed to use some funny
hardware, and  win4lin). I no longer need the customizations, and wanted
to upgrade 2.6 - so installed 2.6.6 kernel image.

When i boot off this image I get a kernel panic, following a message
from sbin/init, that it cant find dev/console.

Any ideas what I have to do?

incidentally, ls -l /dev/console gives :
crwx------ 1 root tty	5, 1 Jun 11:14:40 /dev/console
