The message “INIT: Id “s1″ respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes” may be seen on the console of virtual deployments Cisco deployments. This is a cosmetic issue and can easily be rectified using the following method.

Power off the virtual machine
Edit the virtual machine settings and click Add Other Device and select Serial Port

Select Use physical serial port and uncheck the Connect At Power On button

Save your settings and you are done

You should now be able to power on your virtual machine and validate that you no longer see the respawining message.
