I used a real Mac to partition the Hackintosh Hard drive. Partition 1 is Free Space to install Mac OS (Macintosh HD) and the other partition is 10.6.3 installer image.
I am able to Install 10.6.3 booting with Empire EFI and then installing myHack. The system seems to work flawlessly. I had to modify com.apple.boot.plist to boot 32 bit natively for sound and graphics, but I'm perfectly ok with 32-bit.
However, if I update to 10.6.4 I get Kernel panics. I have tried doing it through the Software Update utility as well as downloading the standalone installer.

mobo: ASRock Conroe945g-DVI
CPU: Intel Celeron Dual-Core e3300 2.5GHz
GPU: integrated GMA 950
