I've tried installing with vanilla kernel, vanilla kernel with AMD fix, Voodoo Kernel, and all of these with/without the seemingly appropriate kexts for video,audio,etc...
Every time I install, I get the "no smoking sign" ("O" + "/") upon boot.
UPDATE: I tried booting in verbose mode, but I got "Still waiting for root device"
Safe mode doesn't work either
Should I try a different Kernel, or a different distro? Can anyone help me out?

You should use VoodooKernel with AMD.
If it still doesnt boot you would need to find out if your SATA controller is supported by the AppleNForceATA.kext you are using, is it loading at all? is it finding all your drives (read what is printed on verbose mode). If its not you would need to find an alternative kext that works with your specific nForce SATA controller (that can be difficult...).
If the GeForce video card you mention is an integrated with shared memory you will have lots of trouble getting it to work and most likely it will never work with hardware acceleration.
