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.
