Those id's are usually the getty's for tty consoles (at least they are in default /etc/inittab). So your kernel might lack something related to tty support. Does /var/log/kern.log say anything? The messages you posted really do not say anything about the cause of `getty' dying in every respawn, so it could many things. If system logs do not say anything, try to run the command in /etc/inittab from a console and see it's output. -- Kiko
