Lenovo X280 - I can't get the installer to boot

[mihailstefano]

I just bought recently a Lenovo ThinkPad X280 to make a small "MacBook" out of it. I followed the Dortania Guide, by the book, and made an EFI Folder. I try to boot, but I get an error. Here is the log:

Hello No solution on my side sorry.
Just bought the same laptop to build a little macbook like you. Following the thread.
Good luck!
