In the end, I used the recovery setup to create a new partition, install Yosemite on it, and move apps and date onto the new partition from the original partition with El Cap on it. In the usual Apple fashion, it refused to let me re-install Yosemite, or even start up from a Snow Leopard DVD, even though I have the original installation packages. At that point, I could re-install El Cap, but the above problem occurred every time I went through this process. All I could do it to force it to power down, then turn power back on and start from the recovery partition. When the Mac first restarted after installation, the startup process stalled early on, never getting to the progress bar. To clarify: I installed El Cap in the normal way, from the App Store.
