The (?) are appropriate as those routines aren't called with parameters.
If there are + <some # in hex> values, they might help too. But the
exact numbers within the ()'s won't mean much.

As an aside, recent kernels check to see if /dev/console's around, and
print a warning if it's not. That warning's a red flag for having
no devices. Maybe we sould mention it in the FAQ?

I agree. You might have to re-install devices, or base. But try another
kernel first.
