crashed: too many corpses being created

After installing a Yosemite update on my laptop, when it boots, it seems to all be fine until about the loading bar is maybe 2/3 done, then slows to a crawl and takes another 20 minutes or so to reach full - where it stays. I have no cursor or anything else during this time, but my caps lock button light will go on an off when I press it.

I've tried:
-Resetting PRAM/NVRAM
-Booting into recovery mode and repairing the drive/partition. This seemed to be done successfully.
-Booting hardware diagnostics and doing a check. It says everything is fine.
-Safe boot. Takes the same length of time and hangs at the same place, so honestly not sure if I'm even doing it right.
-Verbose mode says every single process has crashed, with 'too many corpses being created.'. (picture - note that it's not actually blurry, just scrolling pretty fast so a photo wasn't the best)

It's a Mid-2011 15" Macbook pro, 2.2GHz with a 750GB hard drive and 16GB of RAM. I'm still doing a few other checks (currently re-installing 10.10 using a thumb drive to see if that fixes it), but has anyone got any ideas or had a similar problem?

To update, I managed to get it working. For some reason the OS was hanging (for over 10 hours) during the install process, but only installing the OSInstallScripts fixed the issue.

Thanks for your help, though. I'm sure those links will come in handy in the future.

How specifically did you manage to fix it - I have the same issue.  I can boot into Single User but nothing else works

Could you elaborate on how you got it to boot?  I am having the same issue and none of the links above provided anything beyond what some light googling already has.

So, I’m having the exact same issue on my recent install of High Sierra.

Having attempted to reinstall OS X multiple times, I’m almost at the limit of my patience. Even more frustrating is that I made a small partition on my HD and ran a clean install of High Sierra there, which works perfectly.

What Zcomuto was probably referring to is “OSInstallerScripts” - this is/was an option

that OS X’s installer app used to offer in a customisable install. It is used to install or repair the boot script that required for a Mac after a new install of OS X. Only problem is that OS X installer doesn’t seem to offer a custom install option anymore, so you can’t specifically choose to do this anymore (except for the developer beta installer, which is customisable, according to info found on Google)

I found this out by starting up my broken install in single-user verbose mode and tracking the script. I got an infinite amount of lines telling me each individual process had “crashed” with “too many corpses being created”. I had (and still have) no idea what this means, but found online that people installing older versions of OS X (and Hackintoshes, by the way) were able to fix the same problem, by running a custom install and selecting OSInstallScripts only, without reinstalling the whole OS

I’m posting this so people with the same issue today might know what they’re dealing with, and in the faint hope that anyone reading knows how to isolate OSInstallerScripts, to run for an install of High Sierra.
