Why ASA ask "Pre-configure Firewall now through interactive prompts" ?

Hi, When ASA start/reload, occasionally it asks "Pre-configure Firewall now through interactive prompts [yes]?" while most time it does not ask this question. When it ask it, if hitting the enter key, it keeps asking more questions, which takes a lot time to answer. What cause the situation ? how to prevent it from happening ?

The following is parts of message when reloading

Thank you so much for your reply. You are very right. I did erase start-config, which caused the problem
