Hey guys. I've been having some trouble getting clover to boot the El Capitan installer from my USB. Now despite the views of TonyMac on this forum, I'll just disclose that I was following this guide written by him to get myself going.

If someone has a better or preferred set of instructions, please do send them my way. Basically, when I attempt to boot the installer, the picture attached shows the results. Not too sure about the boot flags I should be using with clover, but I'll attach my specs to hopefully help you help me. 

 

CPU: Intel i5-4690k
MoBo: MSI H97 Gaming 3
GPU: MSI R9 390x
HDD: Sandisk 128GB SSD

 

Thanks much. 

 

P.S Trying to boot with -x just adds Safe Boot Enabled to the bottom of the pictured results. Still the hangup, though.

UPDATE: I have figured out a solution to my problem. In case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation to mine, hopefully this will help you. This problem is caused by MSI Z97/H97 and GA-Z97MX motherboards, and their counterparts. However, the solution is quite simple.
If you navigate to EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI/ on your install drive, you'll find a file called VBoxHfs-64.efi. Delete that file and put this one in that same folder:

Try booting again. After these steps, I was able to boot and install without any issues or boot flags. Loving my Hackintosh set up now.
