That's old. The most recent is (I think) 3.3.something - you might want
to try upgrading, although I don't think that's the problem.

Does /dev/console exist? If not, that's your problem (although I'd've
thought it would break more than X). If it doesn't, then do:
mknod /dev/console c 4 0

I think these are all caused because the server failed to start, so if you
manage to fix the first one the rest should work OK.
