I don't know why you suddenly started getting it, but it is what you
have when booting to single-user-mode. The grub menu calls it "recovery
mode" and you can always get to it with "telinit 1". In my grub menu
list of kernels, I see the "recovery mode" coming right after the normal
mode for each kernel. I could see that if the line with normal mode was
disabled, missing or broken, grub might just skip down to recovery mode
which gives you the behavior.
