The message means getty is dying, causing init to re-start it. If init has to respawn a process too frequently, it temporarily disables the service to prevent excessive consumption of system resources. Typically, when you see this message it means there's some configuration problem with the indicated service, and it never properly starts at all (ie it exits instantly, causing init to re-spawn the process thousands of times a second). Try running the command from a command prompt. You'll probably get an error message indicating what's wrong. You should also check your log files for any errors...
