No Drive activity LED with OS-X install progress bar (HDD LED)

Using Clover and trying to install El capitan from a USB flash drive prepared using the terminal command listed elsewhere. Boots up all the way to install screen and seriously pretends to install progress bar and all, while the HDD snoozes merrily. No drive activity LED at all. As the installer finished it reboots and I can see there's nothing on the drive. Several attempts, same results. Completely different hardware, same results. Different USB same results. Same thing happened a year back on Yosemite. I don't remember how I solved it. The one common thing is the El Capitan download from Apple. So friends any ideas and suggestions please.

Still struggling to nail down the Culprit. What I see is that the usb always boots into OSX utilities screen instead of the install osx screen. This happens with the createinstallmedia method. When: I use the disk utility & finder method everything becomes okay. Completely stumped here. Guys ?
