Do you have X running? Usually, the ttypN pseudo terminals
are employed by xterms (or other terminal emulators on X).
Maybe this is a result of a non-starting X?

Do you have automated "screen" sessions running? Does the
command "w" show something strange?

The configuration files you showed seem to look completely
normal.

I don't see why init tries to getty for the ttypN...

	init: can't exec getty 'none' for port /dev/ttyp[01]:
		No such file or directory

The ttypN files in /dev are, if I see this correctly, only
generated when needed.
