iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11), 27" Memory 16GB
I rebooted up in Safe mode (shift⇧ key on boot up), I got a startup screen Saying "Now completing installation"?? WT??
It went through the final installation process... Checked the version installed yup 10.11.1. Looks good..
Rebooting... (Out of safe-mode)
It worked! Whoohoo... Wow Thank you lord... 🙂

I am having the same issue (OS X El Captain not booting after upgrade to 10.11.1), I am not able to boot to the safe mode also, its stuck at 100% 😟
Can you please let me know if there any other options that I can try
are you using a wireless keyboard?
No, I contacted the support team and they suggested me to do a reinstall from recovery mode, which I am currently doing
I also had a similar install problem this afternoon on my Mac Pro late 2013. Would not complete the 10.11.1 installation. Took numerous restarts to even get a screen. Connected a wired keyboard to get past login screen. Does show 10.11.1 as current version, but now acting somewhat flaky with jerky response and even locking up after starting MS Word 2016.
I'd recommend people not to install this update at this point. I may try doing safe mode thing and see if that helps. May also try stand alone installer if it will let me reinstall. If anyone has any other suggestions, please respond.
Thanks

Exactly same problem. Mac Pro mid 2010. Now restoring from Time Machine.
Well, stand alone installer didn't work. It does boot up, but still acting flaky with jerky response. Will probably try a recovery mode and see if can get working that way. 😟 Will let know here if works. Btw, I'm using my laptop to post this.
Hi I also updated to 10.11.1 with disasterous consequences - system has become unbearably slow and unusable. Any time i try to do something i get the colored spinner! Very disappointing.
Everyone... This is a solved post, You should make a new post maybe this be more helpful?
Regards,

Well, things seem a lot better now. I requested a recovery mode (cmd - r) after restarting, but it took a while for recovery screen to display. Anyway, I requested a reinstall of El Capitan which downloaded installer from internet. After download, it automatically restarted and began install, which took about 26 minutes. Then it restarted again, and everything came up fine. System shows 10.11.1 is installed. No problems now with flaky actions on screen, including Word 2016 now seems to starting up and running OK.
Don't know why previous 10.11.1 installs did not work, but recovery install did. Hope this fixes it.
Good luck to everyone else! :-)

p.s. I posting here since this was thread my original post was in.
This is the exact same what I did when El Capitan was released.
But it ***** to have to do it again! Apple becomes more and more buggy.
My problems just became worse. I tried accessing the cmd+r menu. However i noticed my wireless keyboard cannot connect?! What to do?
Just to give an update, even though I was able to get past the 10.11.1 install part, which seemed OK initially, I encountered other problems later while using other programs which caused 10.11.1 to become unstable. I didn't have this stability problem with original 10.11.0 install. I decided to revert back to a Yosemite backup for now and hope Apple will come out with another 10.11.x update that clears up these problems. Btw, I had to use a wired keyboard during time getting 10.11.1 to install. After getting basic install done, I was able to use wireless keyboard, but then ran into these stability problems.
Good luck to everyone else.

I had the same problem. Installed update, hung at about 70%. After 4 hours decided to reboot, came to the login screen, and after entering credentials the busy mouse pointer stayed there forever. Booted to safe mode, reinstalled.
After several days I thought well, let's try again. >> Same result. This time I did have a TimeMachine backup, so I decided to restore from there. The system prompted that the chosen target disk would be formatted, and I clicked Ok. Result: not possible to erase disk. After which my complete disk was no longer visible (fusion disk). I ended up removing and rebuilding the virtual volume group entirely trough a command prompt, after which I did succeed in restoring my iMac to a workable state.
What I don't understand is why this update is still online. Yes, there are not that many people which posted this problem here, but then again, most probably won't go there. Definitely big minuses for reliability and service there Apple!
Installed 10.11.1 update and crashed...
