I apologize for the bad English. I am firstly install new version of bios (this z585 only!)
http://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/60cn93ww.exe(old has a mp-bios-bug-8254-timer-not-connected-use-noapic).
Then load default settings with "for other os" variant and efi boot first option (with legacy first not work).
win 7 i am move at ssd which trough special adapter install instead cd-rom.
After this manipulation i exclude hdd and install it on pc where install ubuntu 12.04 i386 with new partition table ms-dos on hdd ( new and amd64 version not start on z585 for me) then return hdd to the place on z585 - all work properly, after update grub add menu item with win 7
For other distributives:
At linux versions 3.6 and never (fedora 18, calculate 14, ubuntu beta) - boot live versions with acpi=off kernel options, but after install not work and stop boot on graphic driver load (kms with radeon problem?) for detail need delete "quiet" option from kernel parameters in grub
