Snow Leopard Install won't boot :(

Here's my specs:

M3N78-CM Mobo (GeForce 8200 Chipset)
AMD Athlon 64 (x2) 5000+
3GB Ram
3 PATA HDs
1 SATA HD
nVidia 8500GT 512mb

Using these kexts in "Extra/Extensions":

AHCIPortInjector.kext
AppleDecrypt.kext
ATAPortInjector.kext
Disabler.kext
fakesmc.kext
IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector.kext
JMicronATAInjector.kext
NullCPUPowerManagement.kext
OpenHaltRestart.kext
PlatformUUID.kext

Edit: Also tried removing fakesmc.kext and replacing it with dsmos.kext, but same result.

So. Here's my problem. It installed fine, and I followed this guide whilst installing, which many people have seemed to have luck with. It's also the same guide as everywhere else (mostly). Everything went well in the install, and after rebooting and selecting the "snow" drive, I get this error:

Code:

ACPI_SMC_PlatformPlugin  :start-wait For Service(resourceMatching(AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement)  timed out.

I have seen others with this error, but they were able to boot into Snow Leopard using Safe Mode (-x) My install won't boot with any flags, (-v), (-x), (-f), arch=i386, x32, etc. Nothing works.

Need help!

I've never had problems with this machine before, using Leopard 10.5.8. Really need this now to carry on with my iPhone Development for versions 3.2 and 4.0!

Edit; SOLVED (Read below)
