It could have gotten hung up on a flag or something....im assuming you are using components that are confirmed to work with the hackintosh?

strange....are ALL of your components the EXACT same as his? I have built many hackintosh's and it is one of the most finicky installs ever trying to get everything working. even if you have a random gigabyte UP4 Mobo and he has the UP3 and they are almost the same something could be different and throw it all off

Setting up a hackintosh is no simple thing. You need to have components that are specifically tested for specific OS bootloaders. You may also need to use specific flags (arguments) in some cases. 

 

The best place for you to get help would be a hackintosh specific forum.
