stuck on unable to open initial console

Hi all,
   
    am nithin. I am using mini2440 board. While I tried to load linux OS on
it, its showing a warning: Unable to load initial console, and standing
idle. 
     I am using buildroot-2011.05 and created a tarred rootfs from it.
Linux OS which i am using is 2.6.32.2. I created zImage from it.

In the NOR flash itself, I selected z option for tranfering zImage through
USB. And I set linux command line option for booting from nfs. 

While I checked my dev directory in Rootfs, there is one node named
console. It was like

crw------- 1 root root 5, 1 2012-01-16 21:32 /dev/console   

Can anyone please tell me a solution for this issue.

Sorry that list information of node is having small change, It is

crw-r--r-- 1 root root 5, 1 2012-01-16 22:45 dev/console

Do you use the kernel based NFS server at you host? The userland based NFS
server cannot export device nodes. Maybe this is the cause your kernel
fails to access the device node 'console' in your exported filesystem. BTW:
Are you sure the target mounts the correct filesystem?

I am also experiencing the same problem. 'Console' file is not present in
filesystem

I am also experiencing the same problem. console file is not present in
file system

Ok I solved the problem.

I am using nfs boot.. i tried untarring the filesystem with sudo. Now my
/dev directory contains console file!! :-)
