Hey,
The title is pretty self explanatory, I have a Lenovo y50-70 (8gb of single module ddr3 RAM, 1tb hdd, 1080p screen with a GTX 860M and an Intel Core i7-4710HQ @ 2.5 GHz), and I tried setting up my Hackintosh. I have partitioned 100gb out of my disk on windows, and a while back, it wasn't even booting into the installer, it would just load and show a white forbidden symbol (the circle with the backslash). I somehow managed to make it boot, but it still would time out and freeze at some point, but I remembered to take it out of the usb hub I had so I decided to plug it in directly to the USB port (I did still have my keyboard and mouse connected to the hub, as I needed both and one of my USB ports (the one on the right side) has physically broken (one of the pins broke when I removed a usb drive), and connecting directly got me some more progress, but it still gave me an error at the end, which seems to mean that it couldn't decompress the Core.pkg file (the whole log is attached to the post, but some parts are in Portuguese, as that's the language I tried to install it in). My Clover setup is also attached, in case there's something wrong, like lack of Kexts, or something of that kind.

Any help is appreciated

Hey, I've updated my hardware profile, and read both posts, yet none seem to shed any light as to what may be the problem.
Also it may help to clarify that I made my installer drive by using Disk Utility to make two partitions (one is 2gb and the other is 14 gb, the former for Clover and the latter for the installer itself) on a late 2013 Retina 15'' MacBook Pro, which coincidentally is the default model that came with the .plist I got from some tutorial online...
