10.6.3 only boots with DVD bootloader

Hello,
so with the help of iAtkos S3 v2 I successfully managed to make 10.6.3 running smooth on my AMD system.

There's just one small annoyance, I can only boot SL if I use the iAtkos S3 DVD.
iAtkos installed AsereBLN as my Bootloader, however if I try to boot SL I only see the white apple logo for a split second and my PC insta reboots.

So it seems my installed bootloader is trying to load a wrong kernel.

The iAtkos DVD also uses AsereBLN to load the setup but it's also able to boot any HDD, if I boot my installed SL through it, it boots perfectly fine.

So someone suggested grabbing the mach_kernel file from the DVD using Pacifist and copying that to the root of my HDD.

Since there was already a hidden mach_kernel present on my HDD I played save and renamed the file mach_kernel.2

Back in my AsereBLN I entered the following as the boot string:

mach_kernel.2 arch=i386

yet my PC still insta reboots. If I boot through the DVD everything is still fine.

So yeah I'm at a loss here and any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!
