If this happens when you try the login action, it means something is getting echo'd to the stream before the Auth component has had a chance to start the session.
Check app/tmp/logs/debug.log and error.log, and perhaps even the PHP log file, if you have one getting generated. There might something like a permissions error, where it can't write to a file that it needs to, so echo's an error, but this messes with session generation.
