This is a common error with serial connections. The "getty" is the
program that displays the Login: prompt and waits for the username and
password. If it receives signals, it thinks someone is trying to log
on. If it is unable to convert those signals into actual keystrokes or
ascii characters that make sense (and if it gets enough of these
garbled signals), it will return an error that the getty command has
had to "respawn" too often and so it lets you know about it.

If it only happens once or twice when you start up the system, it may
be that the signals that activate on the lft device are returning some
sort of noise or feedback to the port which it cannot interpret.

If it continues to occur throughout the day while the system is up, it
may indicate a loose wire, or noise or static electricity is getting
into the cabling. Make sure the cabling is seated properly and you have
a good ground signal on the cabling. If you are using IBM cabling, it
should be okay, but homegrown cabling might be made without shielded
wires or such.

a good response from Bobohoolie <jul...@zonnet.nl> is

You just telling yourself:

3153 is an ASCII terminal (3151 alike)
Your process getty is trying to "connect" to your graphical terminal

Just login (as root) and edit the /etc/inittab file (the line with
getty to lft0) and change it into something like this:

tty1:2:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/tty1
cons:0123456789:respawn:/usr/sbin/getty /dev/console

run init q afterwards


thank's
