As stated in the title, I decided to do my upgrade from Yosemite and Chimera to El Capitan on my Hack tonight.
My Specs: GA-Z77X-UPH5-TH
GTX 760
Intel 3770k
Native firewire and wifi PCI cards
Safire Pro 40 sound system
My steps, and the issues:
Worked through the "Chimera to Clover" guide, where I backed up my Kexts to a desktop folder. Also, I made a El Capitan Unibeast USB and was able to boot into my Yosemite install no problem. Regrettably, I deleted my Chimera install on the main SSD boot disk (removed boot, but did not clear my MBR), and then I used my El Capitan USB to install it on my SSD. When I rebooted, I used the USB boot loader to go into my regular SSD disk and was greeted with this on startup, and then this when I booted in verbose and safe mode. I also tried NoCache to no avail.
I then tried installing clover indirectly on my main disk by using my backup and installing Clover to the main disc, and then tried to boot to the disk. Same issue. I tried running the installation of El Capitan again, thinking maybe something got messed up on the installation. Same issues.
Interestingly, I can use the boot loader from my SSD main disk to get into my Yosemite backup-- just not my main El Capitan now.
I have a backup, and I can use it to access the main disk, including its EFI. Does anyone know what to do?
