Something is possibly wrong with the SSD. Is this a brand new Mac?

Thats probably the easiest option. You could also try to do a restore.

Exchange was a piece of cake and this one booted up as expected! Woo hoo!
This JUST happened to me. Got stuck at Setting Up OS X for half an hour so I hit the power button. When I turned it on again, I got this symbol.
Went through Recovery, Disk Utility was fine. Reinstall OS X. Password prompted me to unlock my encrypted drive. Wouldn't let me reinstall OS X. Rebooted through the menu by selecting the Startup Disk and finally got into the Login screen!

That's what warranties are for.
Remember it's a mass produced product. Defects can happen.
Hey! I had the same problem and dis the same steps to fix it! Seems like we had to scare it into reinstalling OS X.
