I don't have an exact answer to your questions, but I ran into similar problems lately when upgrading a Mandrake system.
For the missing console, I didn't need to change the initrd, but instead, I had to create /dev/console /dev/null /dev/zero on my root partition (/) Udev creates these as well, but at boot time udev isn't there yet, and so the initial console is missing. I found this Fedora page interesting in this regard: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/udev/ Maybe it can help.
