For archiving purposes only, so when someone searches the archives in a couple of years after being bit by this, they can also find the answer... :) After digging around a bit, I found that the errors stems from the /etc/security/console.perms file. When I tried to login at the console, pam tried to change the permissions on a bunch of devices that I didn't have, thus making devfs try to load them dynamically, but as I didn't even have them as modules, modprobe didn't find anything. I guess the fix is to redirect pam error logging from the console to some /var/log/ file, but in case something more sinister is happening, I made a (minor) bug report on bugzilla about it...
