I got the "Unable to open initial console."-message each time I built
the root-fs with fakeroot (e.g. by building images) and then generating
the image in a new fakeroot (e.g. by chaning a file in the directory
and building a new image from it). In that case the reason was
obvious when looking from the right direction: mknod cannot create
the node for the initale console in the underlying filesystem so
the information is lost with fakeroot exiting.
