Hi everybody,
I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac (24-inch, Early 2008), everything was alright the first day, restarted and shut down normally, no problems at all.
However the next day (and 2 days on), I turned it on, the white screen with the Apple logo appears with the chime, and then it just goes to a black screen with white text, and I have to type in "exit" for it to continue booting.
Looks exactly like this:

The same thing comes up when shutting down as well, but I don't have to type anything.
What could be causing this?
I hope I've given enough information,
Thanks for the help in advance.
