Lenovo Thinkpad T540p - Setup not even starting

[trakuna]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to use my (tested) El Capitan Boot Stick (created with the latest UniBeast) on my Lenovo Notebook.
Here is my configuration:

* CPU: Intel Core i7-4710MQ
* Chipset: Intel Lynx Point QM87 (Haswell)
* Graphics: Intel HD 4600 (& NVIDIA GeForce GT 730M)
* Audio: Realtek ALC292
* WiFi & BT: Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
* Ethernet: Intel Ethernet Connection I217-LM

Unfortunately my attempt to boot the setup in Clover in verbose mode ends up like this:
OsxAptioFixDrv: Starting overrides for System\Library\CoreServices\boot.efi
Using reloc block: no, hibernate wake: no

Nothing more, just these 2 lines and a system waiting for the next ice age.
Any ideas what I could try? I've installed Mac OS on a couple of computers but never got stuck on such an early stage...

I'm having the same issue except on a desktop... my first install of sierra worked perfectly but I accidentally wiped it using iCloud "erase Mac" trying to fix iMessage. Would you mind checking my thread and giving me your ideas? Fwiw I've build many hacks, and I know the hardware and clover settings... I'm stumped.

Thanks.

Ok I'm sorry, this is just where I found someone with the same problem as me and I could find very few other threads with a similar issue. My research led me here but I'll look elsewhere. Still very appreciative if you have any insight. Thanks.
