Seems like a lot of entries aren't actually pointing to anything.

No errors and no change to NVRAM.
Any new messages in dmesg at the time you issued the efibootmgr command?
Rebooted and tried again. Same thing. Ran out of time for right
now to try an install even though I cannot add to the boot list with this command. I may
try later tonight. Or let me know what to try next.
Oh, Here is my system info:
Lenovo x120e
UEIF Bios ver 8FET32WW (1.16) (date 2011-11-03)
Embedde Ctlr Ver 8FHT21WW (1.09)
Mach Type 0611AH9
Check their site for firmware updates, maybe even check the change log to see if it fixes
anything significant or related before bothering with doing it.

Now what? Other than try install again as is.
That's not going to change anything. If the efibootmgr -c -w L etc command doesn't
produce any errors and also doesn't write anything to NVRAM I'm not sure
what's next which is why I think it still needs a kernel bug report.
