So I'm not the only one.
I did not found valid setting to go beyond OS2LVM.DMD. I tried every possible option in BIOS and follow all posted links but NO GO.
INSTALLED OS2LVM.DMD is last driver before hard hang(only power-off helps).
I even completely recreate a 1TB disk geometry with DSFEE to no veil.
May be, just my be I found a culprit of the problem - INTERNALL SSD drive - 16GB LSS-16L6G.
I clean the drive with DSFEE but when I try to create a partition, despite DSFEE report successful creation, nothing happen. Drive is still in unallocated status.
And there is no setting in bios to disable that drive except in BOOT menu.
I do not want to disassemble everything to remove that drive. It is not visible or accessible from standard drive & memory cover.
Any other idea

Still nothing. Is there anybody with lenovo tp l540 with ssd built in who successfully installed eCs 2.2 ???

I haven't go that configuration, but I will make some guesses, that might help.
If I am correct, the SSD is just a mini card, and not a full SSD drive. I don't know if it occupies the first disk position, or if the real hard disk occupies the first disk position. I suspect that the SSD comes first.
My suggestions:
Don't try to install eCS on the SSD (at least for now). You may need to use either LVM, or DFSEE, to put the LVM information on it, but leave the drive letter set to NONE, if you do. You also need to shrink the windows partition on the real drive (I am not sure how windows handles that), to make room for the eCS volumes. Use windows to do that. I suspect that you will need to use DFSEE to create the new volumes, to avoid the problem where LVM will see an invalid partition table, and refuse to do anything. After that, a normal install should work (but there are no guarantees). Adding AirBoot (the new boot manager), could be a bit tricky. I am not sure where that will get put, it may be in the MBR on the SSD drive, or it might be in the MBR of the hard drive.
Please ask questions, if you need to, but more configuration information would help (what it comes with, and what you are trying to accomplish).

I had a similar problem with model 510.
I finally found an option, "Wipe out HDD drive" somewhere in installer, and it helped.
