6460b stops at "Setting Up Your Mac..."

[redwurm]

Followed the guides perfectly, install goes well until the very end. It's been sitting on "Setting Up Your Mac.." for a solid 15 minutes thus far after it quickly runs through the final checks. It's not frozen, I can still move the mouse and use the keyboard. I am getting intermittent HD activity, but nothing like the install.

Anyone have any ideas? Could it be because my battery is bad (I just run off of AC for now)?

Probably a corrupt OS X installer... Where did you download Mavericks, which version, and how did you create your USB installer?

 

[redwurm]

Downloaded it directly from the app store on my macbook pro, not sure what version...its just whatever you get when you download Mavericks from the app store (which I did this morning). Created the installer also following your guide.
Should I make a new unibeast drive?

Try a different USB stick.

Will give it a shot. Thanks for your help.

Same problem. Completely different drive/brand. Could it have anything to do with my dead battery?

Unlikely. You could always do the install without the battery installed.

What are your full hardware details?
