It looks like init is running gettys on non-existent ttys. I downloaded
that Redhat image, and its /etc/inittab looks as follows:
0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty ttys/0
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty ttys/1
2:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty ttys/2
c:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty serial/0
You're currently using devfs, which is obviously not creating device
nodes that look like /dev/ttys/0. You've two choices: either stop using
devfs, create static device nodes and change the inittab lines to run
gettys on them, or you can update the inittab lines to use the devfs
devices.
I'm not sure offhand what devfs creates, as I don't use it myself. Maybe
starting your UML image with init=/bin/sh on the command line will let
you look around and see what device nodes are in /dev?
