The challenges of installing Snow Leopard on an AMD laptop

So, I have 3 partitions on my laptop: Win 7, Leopard, and one for Snow Leopard.
Windows 7 installed without issue, and I used the ideneb 1.3 distro for Leopard (which only boots with these flags: -v maxmem=2048 cpus=1 busratio=20 noapic).

Now I've moved on to the challenge of installing Snow Leopard. I used the Taranfx Guide where everything installed as it should have. I have Easy BCD setup so that I can boot into Win 7 or Chameleon. Unfortunately, Chameleon loads a ton of files and then goes to a black screen. The last few things it loads are:
"Patched DMI table"
"Loaded HFS+ file: DSDT.aml"
"Patched ACPI version 2 DSDT"
"Starting Darwin x86"
then a black screen.
I'm using the Snow Leopard retail disk.

My system:
Processor: 2.20 GHz AMD Turion II Dual-Core Mobile Processor M500
Memory: 4 GB
Video Card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Graphics

Please, if you have any ideas, let me know.
