If you're interested in troubleshooting this, set your startup disk to the OS X partition, reboot, and hold down the "v" key. You'll get a raw output of the startup sequence. There should be an error before unceremoniously dumping to the shell. Make note of where the startup is ending and post back to the list. Otherwise do an archive and install option and reinstall OS X.
