I've been running my 2011 mini off an external SSD (now running Yosemite), but when I moved it to my new 2014 mini, the drive appears as a volume I can select on boot, but when I attempt to boot off it all I get a black screen with a white X, and the option to return to the boot loader.

I haven't yet ruled out whether it's due to it being an external, or if there's just something it doesn't like about this OS installation. I'm trying to avoid having to reformat the thing.

Anyone else having trouble booting off their previous mini's OS install, and/or externals?
