THe heap of text is an error. It wants you to do something, and it is telling you what to do. My guess (and that's all it is until you can copy the error message and post it) is that it is having trouble with a disk. Usually it wants you to give the root password, then fix the disk. But exactly how to fix the disk is in the heap of text. Zebee
