[SOLVED] Install appears frozen with "11 minutes remaining"
I read somewhere while researching that, when upgrading, sometimes the Yosemite install will hang with a certain number of minutes for literally hours but will ultimately upgrade if you just wait it out. However, this is a clean install and I don't really have a way to double check that something else hasn't gone wrong. For some reason my keyboard hasn't been working since Unibeast started, but my mouse appears to have stopped working since the install started.
I am just wondering whether this is a problem I should actually wait out, or if there's something I can try to avoid wasting my time. So far the problems I have run into are the following:
1) panic: 0xdeadbeef upon Unibeast boot / white screen of death ---> solved by removing one of two 8gb ram sticks
2) harddrive wouldn't show up as choice for installation ---> solved by partitioning into Mac OS Extended (journaled) using Mac Disk Utility
In case it's relevant, here are my hardware specs:
Gigabyte Z97-UD5H
i7-4790K
Geforce 760 (I left this in because I could not get my monitor to display without it -Dell U2412M)
Crucial Ballistix Tactical (8GB) Low Profile; other 8GB stick currently removed
Samung 840 EV0 250GB
