I have decided to try snow leopard again but I cannot get it to boot.
I have a USB formatted with the snow leopard retail dvd, that is plugged into my computer. I am also using a USB dvd rom drive for IBoot.
I have tried IBoot, EmpireEFI.etc but i always get a system hang on the installer:
Trying to change a collection in the registry

I also get the same message at the top of the screen just before NullCPUPowerManagement::start
I have also tried every boot flag i can thing of:
-x32 -f -x arch=i386 -s acpi -v
-x32 -f -x arch=i386 acpi=off -v
-x32 -f -x -v
-v -x32 arch=i386
Nothing works.
My machine is a AcerPower F6 with a Core 2 Duo E6? (Works with vanilla kernel)
It has a ATI Radeon Xpress 200 chipset (ATA,etc) My harddrive is IDE.
I had this working before with snow leopard but it doesnt work now.

So its now:
CD ROM - IDE
SATA HDD 1 - Destination
SATA HDD 2 - Storage

But i am getting a hang on:
