I don't sleep well if I know that my dear VPS has some error on boot...
My VPS is money and I can not afford to have downtime or other problem...

This really is not a problem. I just did a fresh install of CentOS and it does not have /dev/tty0.

'Fixing' it will involve messing with your udev config and/or the contents of /etc/rc.d. You run the risk of introducing errors or unforeseen results by changing things.

It ain't broke, so don't fix it.

I'm using linux for more than 12 years now and this "new theory" is quite strange for me but I can admit that it can work well... :)
You told me that you have the same problem with a fresh install of CentOS 5.3? Do you have the same error on boot???
I mean this error:
Starting udev: [ OK ]
Loading default keymap (us): /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit: line 396: /dev/tty0: No such file or directory
[FAILED]

Yes, and other errors caused by Xen virtualisation / lack of physical hardware / stuff that's just not there, e.g.
Code:
Applying Intel CPU microcode update: FATAL: Module microcode not found.
/etc/rc3.d/S00microcode_ctl: microcode device /dev/cpu/microcode doesn't exist?

and
Code:
Loading additional iptables modules: ip_conntrack_netbios_ns [FAILED]

ok, since I hate see to error I can give you a tip for the last two error :)
for the first one, simply
disable the service cpu_microcode.
for the second one, edit /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config
and change this two lines from:
IPTABLES_MODULES="ip_conntrack_netbios_ns"
IPTABLES_MODULES_UNLOAD="yes"

to

IPTABLES_MODULES=""
IPTABLES_MODULES_UNLOAD="no"

If someone, will find a solution to the tty0 problem, will be really much appreciated.

You could just change the script to use /dev/tty1 instead of /dev/tty0 wherever it appears: sed -i.orig 's#/dev/tty0#/dev/tty1#g' /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

Don't know what unintended effects that might have, though...

I don't know too what it could create, so I'll not change it...
