A quick google for the error message suggests to me that this is init's
way of saying "I started everything you asked for, now what?". The
problem is that, in a normal boot, you never quite get there because the
getty is launched and doesn't return.

Now, by the looks of it, you can't launch the getty because there's no
tty1 (it took  (sic) "long to come up"). Is this a virtual machine? If
so, check your VM manual for the correct console device to use
(/dev/hvc0 or something, perhaps). Are you using a framebuffer console?
If so, is the driver for that working fine? Also check udev - it might
be that the driver/hardware is fine, but the device node never appears.
