Are you sure the installation media (USB stick) is correct? That error usually occurs with invalid media.
Yes, as I wrote in the post I tried multiple sticks.

I tried doing a fresh install as opposed to just booting my tonymac build from clover and ran into the same thing when trying to launch the installer.

I also had chimera installed but when I was doing this it was unplugged and I was using a fresh SSD and new flash drive.

Have you googled for your board and set the settings other hackintosh users have set?
I did. Like I said, it's working with Chimera...

 Shoutout to Sinestro for being totally awesome and spending hours to help me get this running for no apparent reason.

I'm running a GA-Z77X-D3H, which is a fucker of a board to get running on Clover, maybe the only Gigabyte Z77/X board for which it's such a hassle. That's thanks to a finicky EFI/BIOS and the awful VIA VT2021 audio.

The solution was to update to the F16 bios (NOT the beta one,) and, oddly enough, delete all of the other kext folders on my Clover USB aside from "10.11" and "Other". Turn off VT-d and integrated graphics and turn on EHCI handoff and you're good to go. Except, the audio doesn't work. Luckily, I have an external DAC.

Glad to finally be off Chameleon.
