I recently bought a Lenovo ThinkServer TS140 with full intention of using it as a workstation. I has successfully installed Windows 8.1 UEFI installed. The ThinkServer TS140 BIOS is UEFI AMI BIOS. Almost 99% of Lenovo that I read used Phoenix or INSYDE BIOS.

The specs are:

CPU: Intel Xeon E31225V3

MB: Lenovo said it's Talon Planar ( never heard) it's socket 1150 MB

Chipset: Lynx C225

Graphics from CPU: Intel HD4600

MEM: G.Skill Ripjaw XMP DDR3 1600

SSD: Kingston (Windows 8.1 UEFI installed)

Separate HDD: Data

I have a blank HDD exclusively for OSX hack.

Install: Mavericks 10.9.4

 

I used Rehabman-PikerAlpha Haswell patch to prevent premature re-boot. With patching the mach_kernel, it reboots immediately.

With patched mach_kernel, I am stuck at

"BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory"

 

I used boot Args: -v -f -x; -f-v ; -f -v -x; all lead to the same outcome. Attached below is a shot of the boot screen.

Below screen shot for your reference as a comparison using Clover EFI installer legacy install.

I must apologize that everything I attached a screen shot, it's always upside down.  Any help from anyone would be highly appreciated.
