Trouble Booting SL 10.6.7 AMD

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb @3.6GHz
GPU: MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600
HDD
: 60GB WD Caviar Black
PSU
: Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W
MOB
: Asus M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3
MON
: 23" 1080p Dell LCD 5ms

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.7 installed but can only boot if I boot from my Nawcom DVD that I used to install SL using Retail Disk. I tried all combinations of boot commands possible including:

-v -f -x -force64 busratio=17 cpus=1 maxmem=4096 arch=i386

and no matter what I do I always get something along the lines of:

WARNING: ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin - getCPUIDInfo unknown CPU family: family...
-- power management may be incomplete or unsupported...
DSMOS has arrived
** Device in slot: SLOT--1 **
** Device in slot: SLOT--1 **

then most of the time that's all I get and it's just stuck there.

I have the latest BIOS update and I am using Darwin 10.7... the latest 10.6.7 kernel... and I tried to use the anVAL bootloader but I couldn't get it to work. I guess I just don't know how to do it.

try with the bootflag

Code:
 -v legacy_kernel arch=i386 busratio=17
and if u get in there u apply these settings to your com.apple.Boot.plist

Boot using your CD, then install legacy kernel and Chameleon.

Here is latest Chameleon build:

And here is legacy kernel for 10.6.7:
http://www.kexts.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1062

I'm also using VoodooTSCSync for my AMD:
http://osx86.co/f36/amd-dual-core-op...leopard-t6820/

and following kernel flags:
arch=i386 -force64 cpus=6 busratio=16

"cpus" and "busratio" values for your CPU are 4 and 17.

I found why it was happening.
GPU must be enabled.
I reinstall Mac OS X 10.6.3 and enable my video card with efi string (nVidia 9800 GT)
Then I update to 10.6.7 and instal legacy kernel.
Now system boot normally.
Sorry i don't speak english very well
