Once you are able to Successfully boot into MAc OS X, and if you are 
not trying to connect to a NetInfo server, I'd suggest turning a couple 
of things off that are on by default.

Open Applications > Utilities > Directory Access

Again, if you are and will not be connecting to a NetInfo server, you 
can safely turn off the NetInfo entry (uncheck it).  If you are not 
connecting to any LDAP servers, you can uncheck them as well.

Here's an Apple kbase article about it, which also provides step by 
step instructions:

I hope it behaves after a clean reinstall.
