Try "Snow Leopard Client-Server 10.6.2 by Hazard".
Set your "SATA mode" in BIOS to "AHCI".
During installation select Blackknight's 10.6.2 kernel, Chameleon RC4 (or patched version with ATI graphics card injection), Realtek 1000 drivers, Evoreboot and CMOS reset fix (the last one on the list). After installation boot to Snow Leo with "maxmem=4096" if your PC shutdowns during boot without it.
