Boot fails after migration

Try booting from your install USB stick and opening a terminal and inputting the following:

 

diskutil unmount -f /Volumes/"YOURDRIVEHERE"

 

Make sure "YOURDRIVEHERE" is actually your drives name. You must use the "-f" flag to force the unmount.

 

Then open Disk Utility. Once that opens, select your hard drive and select "Repair Disk". After that completes, select "Repair Permissions". This usually fixes most of my startup problems when I get Chameleon errors. (A "Repair Disk" will re-"Bless" the first non-EFI partition. {In your case, disk1s2.})

if your in /Volumes/ you can do a ls to view your drive names

Thanks for that! Cannot believe I forgot to mention that lol.

 

Also, if Terminal complains that it could not find the UUID for the drive, it can be found by opening Disk Utility and highlighting your hard drive and selecting "Info" button. Replace "YOURDRIVEHERE" with the UUID for the drive.
