Only other distros i have tried is the "cpus=1" which will give me a loading signal and that's it. So, do you think i should start installing it with a different chipset each time?

first off...
distro's are the different developer's distributions of OSx86 (i.e. kalyway, ideneb, zephyroth, Leo4All, iPC, JaS, etc.). I think you are confusing this term with the term
boot flags...
secondly... so you're telling me you successfully installed?... if this is the case then yes, it sounds like you need to go back in and re-install. Make sure you CUSTOMIZE your install using the button in the lower left corner of the installer window just after you select where you want to install. Add in just your chipset for now unless you are completely sure of all the rest.
thirdly... if you use the boot flags properly, when you use "-v" at all, you shouldn't see any Graphics until you are booted into the system.
-v is verbose
-x is safe mode
-f is a forced load of the Extensions folder (which includes all the kext fixes you customize to as well as many other essential kernel extensions)
If you've already done this and it still doesn't work, let me know as it may be a little more in-depth than these simple fixes. Best of luck bud.
EDIT: just in case, I better throw this out there for you... when you enter the boot flags in, don't include those quotation marks from above... those are there only to show a separation from the rest of the text.
