Well, it could be a lot, but mainly this means that there is some
syntactical error in your .emacs.
a nice way which uses the elisp power in debugging is:
rename .emacs to .emacs.el
now automatically cl-mode is invoked vs text-mode.
visit the file .emacs.el
C-x evaluate buffer read the comments in the the message-buffer and
act according to the mentioned errors.
emacs is rather smart in making one feel dumb. ;-)
