Can you check you have at least the in the rootfs the 
/etc/init/console.conf file ?

The content should be:

# console - getty
#
# This service maintains a console on tty1 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.

start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]
stop on runlevel [!2345]

respawn
exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 /dev/console

Yeah, I suppose you logged as non-root and then you did a su -
The tty belongs to the initial user and not to the current user, this is 
why it fails. I suppose when root opens the tty that shouldn't happen, 
but anyway you can fix this by chmod ugo+rw $(tty) until there is a 
proper fix for this.
