iAtkos v7 installs, still can't boot OS X

I will try to give as much info as possible and if anything else is needed, just ask.
I've been trying to get OSx86 on to my HP Pavillion desktop for a while now but most of the distros don't even start up.
Here's the specs I got.


I eventually got iAtkos v7 to boot by using the flags "mach_970 -v -x". It loads up and I use disk utility to format an 80GB Mac partition (alongside my current 604GB Vista partition and 13.8GB Factory_Image partition). I go to the intsaller and customize and I left most of the settings default (I don't exactly know what does what..) but I did choose Voodoo 9.7 kernel because I think I read somewhere that AMD machines need to choose a kernel in the installer. Then I let the install run and then it says it must restart after it's complete. I restart and Chameleon v2 loads. I chose the OS X partition and it gives me an Apple logo and nothing happens.


I then had to go back to my Vista partition and fix the boot process (since the OS X install messes it up) and that's where I am now.
I think my hardware may not currently be supported so if that's the case, then I can do without OSx86.
Any help would be appreciated.
