A couple of odd 10.7 installation issues (Lenovo T420)

So, first off, here are the specs:

 

i5 2520 at 2.5ghz

Intel 3000 Graphics

Lenovo T420

 

I'm tearing my hair out at this point, as I've tried the following installation methods:

 

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]/[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] with both 10.7.2 and 10.7.0 Lion App (this results in a USB Bootable drive, however Chimera loads to a boot0: test, boot0: error) Additionally, when booting with Chimera on the USB drive I installed with, once OSX loads it does not see that drive. If I unplug that drive, there is an instant kernel panic.

 

Lion ESD to USB Drive with Chameleon and Extras folder installed (this resulted in a DSMOS Has Arrived standstill any time I would try to load the disk.)

 

The Lenovo doesn't even recognize the drives when it is partitioned via GUID, so I use nawcom's MBR patch method. Here is the guide I was following:

The most infuriating thing, is that I've installed Lion on a couple of computers already, edited DSDTs and various things, and for the life of me, I cannot get a bootable Lion drive on this computer.

 

I just installed [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] on 10.7.2, and now I get several lines pointing to errors in AppleUSBEHCI, leading to an unbootable installation.

 

I'm at my wits end, and have tried to contact several people in the above post, only to hear no response. I suspect there is some sort of issue with my BIOS that I'm using, as it seems to force me to use UEFI and Legacy Bios. Also, it's quite off putting that nobody in that topic seem to be having any installation issues in the slightest.

 

I would truly appreciate any possible help. Thank you!
