Can't Boot past "en2: promiscuous mode enable succeeded"

It's not clear whether you can boot successfully in safe mode. You seem to be mixing that up with verbose mode, which is unrelated.

Same problem on my end. Came out of no where this morning when just working as usual. I'm out of ideas as well. I have done just about everything you have done.

Maybe you have already fixed this? anyway, an associate of mine at work has just had the same problem and as he has never had a mac before (MacBook Pro 15) he came to me, not that I have a Mac either but I am one of the Unix/Linux specialists so he thought I could fix it! And I did!

after starting in single user mode and doing the usual checks, all returning status ok, I started in the verbose mode and saw exactly what you had, thinking that en2 is a network adapter in the system ( en/eth in Unix/Linux) I thought the problem could be network related so I started up with the Startup Manager and could choose the correct available wireless network, entered the password and the proceeded to boot the system.. it worked fine.

Try it and see, it may help you too.

I have this exact problem.

The computer is also suffering from video problems as well. I'll boot to the recovery mode (local or internet) and as it's doing a disk check vertical blue lines will cover the screen and stay until I power off the computer.

I'm taking the computer into the apple store today to see if this model of macbook is suffering from a video defect:

Is this problem already solved?

I have the same issue on my Macbook Pro (non-Retina) from mid 2012 (Yosemite 10.10.3). Daily the first boot fails and freezes at the step (Verbose mode):

en1: promiscuous mode enable succeeded

After forced shutdown it boots normally again (sometimes 2x forced shutdown is required). In addition, when the MBP is in standby mode (closing lid), it crashes after +/- 1 hour.

Console logs:

May 13 08:47:06.884848 MacBook-Pro.local discoveryd_helper[175]: Basic RemoteControl com.apple.discoveryd_helper Starting XPC Server

And lots of Sleep Wake Failure

Kelsor's comment is the answer to this issue. It is a video defect and the recall covered my early 2011 MBP.

Great - thanks for posting link...just saved my weekend :0)

Dear all,

I have the same problem and have tried all the solutions above with no success. According to the German Apple Support Team the link above does not include this error, which makes me sad, as this post gave me some hope...

Could you please let me know about your experiences? What is the origin of this problem and what is the solution?

Best regards

The issue was now solved by the service staff of our local Apple reseller. Within two minutes they confirmed (with some sort of "Service Tool") that it is the video issue mentioned above.

Did they cover it? I have the same issue and wondering if they will cover it.

It is still bring repaired. They told me that it will take at least three weeks (due to their capacity). According to the service staff, it will be covered but I don't have it back yet...

Hey -- I see the same issue when I boot (I can't get into safe mode or recovery mode, and had a similar progress bar).

What ended up being your fix? My computer shouldn't be part of the video issue as it's a 2014 MBP, not a 2012 / 2013. But maybe that issue manifests itself over different generations...

I have this problem again on a late 2011 17" model. Logic board replaced May 2015 worked flawlessly until a few weeks ago when it would rebooted after switching to the GPU a few times. Had vertical lines yesterday. Sadly I feel the end is near for my beloved workhorse...

I have this same issue, but following the link to the Support Coverage no recall information was present. The model matches "MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011)", but should I see something else?

Thanks

The recall program is no longer available from what I understand. My 17" failed completely a few weeks ago, not worth fixing until logic board prices drop to a few hundred dollars on eBay!
