Nothing wrong with above CONFIG_VT* options. Can you try mounting the
encrypted root partition (from your rescue floppy or whatever), and list
some files like this:

    mount -t ext3 /dev/hda6 /mnt -o loop=/dev/loop5,encryption=AES256
    ls -l /mnt/dev/console /mnt/sbin/init
    umount /mnt

'users' mount option implies noexec. It is explained in mount man page.
