Installing Snow Leopard on an ECS Elitegroup Nvidia MCP-61 chipset motherboard

I have the following hardware:

ECS Elitegroup motherboard with nVidia MCP61 chipset (with latest Award BIOS installed)
2 GB Memory
AMD 64x2 5200+ cpu
eVGA Geforce 6200 PCIe Videocard
TI-based Firewire 400 card.
2-Hitachi 1tb SATA Hard drives
2-Maxtor 500gb SATA Gard drive
1 Seagate 500 IDE hard drive
1 LiteOn 24x DVD burner


I have tried, without success, to install Snow Leopard on this machine
using the methods found 1) ihackintosh.com, 2) on prasys' blog and 3)the methods outlined all over the web on installing snow leopard to a USB flash drive, as well as a small partition on a second hard drive while running under leopard.

Each method always ends the same way. I end up with a type 14 error and the system does a panic and coredump. I have used modbin's test7 kernel, as well as qoozl with the same results. I have tried Chameleon 1.1, 2.0rc1, 2.0rc2, and 2.0rc3 with the same results. I have also installed the latest NForceATA kexts, Latest NVIDIA video injector kexts and the latest dsmos kexts in ~/Extra/Extensions, rebuilt the Extensions cache under ~/Extra, and still get the same results.

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
