To me this sounds like perhaps the kernel can't find /dev/console, which
it supposedly needs. I would boot into an older kernel passing it
init=/bin/bash (hilight the appropriate kernel in lilo, hit tab, and
then type in init=/bin/bash) and check for /dev/console and /dev/null.
If they don't exist, they can be created with:

mknod -m 600 /dev/console c 5 1
mknod -m 666 /dev/null c 1 3

Hope that helps
