If you can't even boot into mac os outside of MOL than it is almost
certainly a Mac OS and not a MOL problem, likely an extension conflict. You
will have to use extension manager (or something like conflict catcher, if
you have it) to turn on/off extensions until you find the culprit. Since
extensions are loaded alphabetically, you can look at what is loaded
after/when the mac boot stops as a clue. Also, if you had installed any
software recently that may cause the problem, that is another
clue/consideration.
