Hi,

I agree with Ali.C. You can try as suggested above.

so any help would be nice
This is a real mess indeed, no offence. OSX is a very delicate OS especially when trying to install and run it on pc hardware, as some is supported and some not, some with cut-off capabilities etc. It has taken me for weeks, in the beginning, to install and run it natively on my amd box in spite of being capable to run it pretty smoothly (which i wasn't aware of). So you should take your steps steadily and most of all, explore everything you can find on the internet regarding the particular hardware, chipset, graphics, etc. There is a HCL, hardware compatibility list at wiki, a must place to visit, etc.

Some reported that can run OSX with SIS chipset natively. Some with IDE hdd, some with SATA only. As at your installation you selected and installed everything that was selectable, i won't be trying to make it work any longer. If you have 'windoze' also installed on the same hdd and want to dual boot, i wont do that at this point. If you plan to mess with mac os now and see if it can be run on that hardware, dedicate that hard drive for mac osx (at least for now). Do not install anything you are completely sure it is adequate for your hardware. EFI is a must, mac osx won't go without it. In your bios, under Onboard Sata controller, if there is an option to change to from ide to sata->ahci, do it, and try booting and installing with ahci mode. Try with it. When customizing installation, if there are any third party drivers for your chipset (Should be named for SIS) install them, if not, do not install any other chipset driver. Skip any other customization at this point, graphics, lan, audio. The main point is to get the hard drive running and boot the installed system, anything else can be added later. When installed try to boot with "-v" flag when promted, in verbose mode, so you can see where you are stucked at. If the system wont boot in ahci , try to see what google has to say about your chipset (sata controller), other people's experiences, etc. If no luck at all then you could try with IDE drive. But we'll see until then, one step at the time.

Hope it helps a bit, if nothing else then at least to clarify things.
Regards!
