OS X Mavericks @ Intel S5000XVN - 2*XEON-E5410 - GT640

Same rig as OP here. I've almost got El Capitan installed on my S5000XVN. Got to the install screen but DiskUtility doesn't see the AHCI controller. I'm using Clover in Legacy Mode. My bios set to AHCI.

Sys info only shows the SAS controller when I load it, but I can't even get to the installer if I connect my SSD to SAS. It'll stop at "abnormal code: 255". Loaded the installer with Legacy SATA Mode, and I'm getting the same result.

Intel Xeon Processor E5320 x 2
16GB Ram
AMD Radeon HD6350 512 MB DDR3

Here is everything I know about the Sata AHCI on the S5000VXN

631xESB/632xESB SATA AHCI Controller
PCI ID 8086:2681
identified as ESB2 AHCI

I've added this to the AHCIPortInjector.kext by editing with MacKextLight and still no joy.
