I have tried 2x on a 2009 Mac Mini. 1st as upgrade via /Applications, then from USB (via Recovery). Even tried re-install from recovery. It seems fine until final few minutes. It goes into a rolling reboot. I have restored from TM 2x. Next up, fresh install and migrate apps, settings, files from TM Might have to try the non-Apple RAM trick. Os x could not be installed on you computer. No packages were eligible for install. What i did so far:-I rebuilt another usb drive from a new El Capitan freshly downloaded from the App store.-I formatted the hard drive, again.-I re tried to install but still the same.-I then held command+r and tried to install from there but I get the same issue. Connect machine to internet and restart holding command+R – this will (should) start in system recovery which will give you Disk util and “Reinstall OS” option – Note that this will install the OS that the Recovery part was created with.

The combo updater contains all the files necessary to install macOS on all Macs, whereas the version downloaded from the App Store only has the files for your specific Mac. It may be that the combo updater works, where the Mac App Store version doesn’t. Install in Recovery Mode. This is the last resort if nothing else works.
After a successful import, a 'Package is created' event will be logged into the System/Administrative logs. Details will describe this new package with text similar to 'Successfully imported the SEP 12.1 RU5 32-bit package via Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. This package is now available for deployment.'

- This process will not work with the SEPM web console. It can only import packages that were exported in the .ZIP file format. It will not import a .INFO file format package, it's not supported for web console. The web console can only import or export a single file.
- It is possible to import an executable package (i.e. .EXE or .ZIP file packages) directly, but this is not recommended. The .INFO file contains extra information that describes the package and ensures proper migration to future builds of the SEP client via delta updates.
