Hello, I've found the solution to the error "OS X YOSEMITE IS ALREADY INSTALLED ON THIS MAC" where on the OS X Installer all you can do its press restart button.

 

To fix it and continue with installation u have to copy the file smbios.plist from /Extra folder.

 

If u have already a OS X installed in your HD with Chameleon, just copy that smsbios.plist to /Extra folder OF THE PENDRIVE or THE DVD from where you are trying to install a Mac.

 

I was trying to install El Capitan from USB, everything went OK,but i had the OS X YOSEMITE IS ALREADY… error when trying to install, so I've copied the smsbios.plist from my Lion installation /Extra folder to the /Extra folder of the USB with Capitan and voila!

 

Any questions ask,i hope it help.
