Im updating a 17 MacBook Pro early 2009 (5,2) from Snow Leopard to Mavericks (for a friend), he asked me to perform a clean install. And so I did.
Erasing the HDD wasnt any problem. So I booted my Mavericks installation USB. The installation started and everything went ok. After the first part of the installation process had completed, it automatically rebooted and gave a Kernel Panic. After the Mac had booted again it continued with step 2 and upon reboot I got a Kernel Panic again. To invoke step 3 I have to boot into safe mode. I tried reinstalling the OS multiple times and even changed the GUID to MBR and tried to install Windows. No luck at all. I can boot into safe mode so I assume the installation was performed correctly.
After the Mavericks installation is complete I cant boot :
I can boot from:
I can boot into:
I cant test:
I performed:
I checked:
*booting into safe mode sometimes results in a kernel panic, but a second try boots without problems.
When I boot into safe mode, and check the console I got this error: Opendirectoryd: sandbox cache error 3850
