Hey all, been running one of tonymacx's builds for a long time now, put it together for music and visual work, and it hasn't missed a beat in all the time I've had it. A couple of years ago I decided to fit a hot swap tray and install Yosemite on another hard drive so I could swap between that and SL. Yosemite went on absolutely fine and worked perfectly, but recently I had a problem with a bad stick of memory, and I was having some issues with plugins and so on so I decided to do a fresh install of Yosemite. And I think I've used up all my previous good luck, because I can't get it to install this time!
I've downloaded Yosemite from the App Store and made the USB up with Unibeast, actually three of them. All the BIOS settings are as recommended, but I keep getting this onscreen whenever I try to install.
I've tried installing to a blank HD, tried cloning my existing SL hard drive and installing as an update, removing all but one stick of memory, disconnecting all external peripherals, no joy. My SL hard drive is still running perfectly and nothing's changed, all of the hardware and BIOS settings are exactly as they were when I did the first install (except I'm currently down to 8gb of memory till I can get some ordered in January) so I can only assume I'm stupidly missing something obvious! Either that, or I've connected up something I shouldn't have. I've been right through the boards and still can't suss this out, so any help would be most gratefully received. Thanks.
