It's because of the iPhone autocorrect.AnywaysI meant that I am booting from the recovery partition and not from usb installer.I will check the genericusbxhci.kext file through ubuntu. Don't know will I be able to access this drive from there as it was locked from filevault.

You should plan to wipe the drive completely and re-install.
 
It remains the same even after clean install.
I reformatted the HDD in Ubuntu and tried to install again.

I get stuck at the same boot message "Using reloc block:yes, hibernate wake: no"

No idea without seeing a quality photo of a verbose boot.

The most important message is almost never the last.

Yippe!!!
I am now back on Mac...had to do a lot of hunting and changes. at last the EmuVariableUEFI64.efi file made the difference. I added it to the Drivers64 folder and then was able to use the re-installed drive.

Without the EmuVariableUEFI64.efi it was again getting stuck at the same boot screen.

Thanks and a Hearty thanks to Rehabman for the EmuVariableUEFI64.efi trick. BRAVO:clap::thumbup:

I'm guessing that you added it to drivers64UEFI, not drivers64.

It works because it is simulating nvram via files instead of using the real nvram values stored...
