Q: Why is macbook pro HD starting up on terminal log screen?

This is a HD that i took from a macbook pro with broken screen and put in a 2008 macbook unibody after its HD died.

 

When I turn on the laptop there's a blue screen, then it goes to black screen with white letters running a boot log type thing, then it will go to desktop screen.

 

I also see the black screen with white letters log happen when shutting down.

 

I researched and tried some fixes i found online, but to no avail.

 

Anybody care to have a crack at diagnosing this and coaching me to try and solve it?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)
