I'm having a problem when I try to install El Capitan. I'm using dart=0 -v and nv_disable=1, but I get stuck on a black screen with a white stop sign in the middle, and the following message on the bottom left of the screen: "Still waiting for root device"
I don't know what to do. I chose the UEFI Clover on Unibeast. What am i doing wrong?
 
Do you get that before you get to the Clover menu or after selecting an option from the Clover menu?

If after, can you boot verbose and see if you get any more information?

That would be after. The very last thing I see is the "missing bluetooth controller" message. After that, the screen cuts to black, with the white stop sign on the middle and the message "Still waiting for root device" on the bottom left of the screen. I never had this problem with Yosemite.
 
Thank you for the reply. I removed the video card, booted with the integrated graphics (Intel HD 4000), but I got stuck on the same screen.
 
Oh, thanks! cpus=1 did the job.
 
@fffzzzccc, please update your profile (personal details) with your Motherboard, CPU and iGPU or Graphics Card.
If you have a prebuilt computer enter make and model instead of motherboard (Mobo).
