Boot macOS installer

Witch one?

Big sur beta. Tried on both skylake and ivy bridge same result. Will try virtualbox

[MachInit]

This is a hackintosh or Macintosh?

If your using Opencore, it sounds like it's an issue with that. I can go into that further if your using that. If not and you are using a vanilla installer (basic macOS install USB) then it sounds like it may be corrupt.

I have the same issue, but on a Hackintosh. Don't think there's a solution, unfortunately. I have tried numerous things, including changing kernel quirks, going to newer/older OC versions, using minimal kext configurations, fakeSMC instead of virtualSMC, clean installs, upgrades, installs from USB, and more. I know Big Sur works by itself because it booted with no problems when already installed to an external drive.

I installed via qemu with raw disk booting. You have to let the installer reboot like 3-4 times, then go through the account creation. Then you can detatch the disk and move it to the other computer. Do not do it in the middle, the sealing / locking will fail and you have to start over.
I have to do this everytime instead of cloning existing new installs for new testbeds. Very time consouming
