Actually not. The 'pivot root' command just above is the attempt to switch from the initrd to the regular file system. The "cannot open dev/console" is almost always caused by the fact that the normal root file system could not be mounted and thus the _normal_ /dev/ directory not being available. A common cause for the root file system being unable to mount is missing driver(s) for the root filesystem in the initrd, but in this case I think cause of the segmentation fault needs to be looked into.
