I had this problem today with a new domU.
#/etc/rcS.d/S05keymap.sh restart
produces the "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console"
message
and then says:
"use install-keymap"

Various attempts like
#install-keymap NONE
had little effect, but this works:
#rm /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz

:)
