Unable to boot after install

The install finished and when my MacBook Pro mid 2014 restarts it starts with the loading bar almost full. After couple of seconds (before the mouse appears) the screen goes black and a circle with a line cross it appears. Then after waiting it goes black again. If I try to turn it on again it says "Your computer has restarted because of a problem". This is the first time it has happened with beta software on this machine. Any ideas?

Don't know why, but booting in to safe mode allowed me to finish the installation. If anyone else encounters this problem, just hold down Shift while booting.

aren't you just booting into safe mode by holding shift?


I, too, am experiencing the phenomenon mstg speaks of. I tried resetting PRAM which enabled me to get a little further into the setup of the machine under El Capitan, but it eventually crashed again.


I've only been able to use EC in safe mode, and am regretting ever thinking I could work with a beta version. I've learned the hard way.
