Give Retail installation via EmpireEFI for AMD a try - you might need to boot it using -x to get through the installation.

After Installation create /Extra/Extensions folders on your OS X partition, open Preboot.dmg from the Boot CD and copy over AppleVIAATA.kext, EvOReboot.kext, fakesmc.kext + NullCPUPowermanagment.kext to /Extra/Extensions folder and if you need PS2 Support copy AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext & ApplePS2Controller.kext to /System/Library/Extensions
Get pfix v3, install it and run it on Terminal + choosing your OS X Partition for it.

Copy mach_kernel from Preboot.dmg to your Desktop and rename it to legacy_kernel - copy legacy Kernel to the main folder of your OS X partion.

Copy com.apple.Boot.plist from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration to your Desktop and edit to look like this:
Code:
    <key>Kernel</key>
    <string>legacy_kernel</string>
    <key>Kernel Flags</key>
    <string>arch=i386</string>
Copy the edited Boot.plist into /Extra

Get Chameleon v2 RC4 bin from here: http://chameleon.osx86.hu/file_downl...684-bin.tar.gz and install it like beeing descryped in the manual, but with using "boot" from here: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=214428

Using -x Bootlfag your system should now be able to boot standalone.

After standalone boot use Softwareupdate to upgrade to 10.6.4, edit your com.apple.Boot.plist again and add:
Code:
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>y</string>
Connect your display via DVI and you should be able to boot without using -x Flag and with full graphic accerlation.

Look here for Kernel Update & CPUID patching.
Add VoodooHDA for sound and look for other things you need to have fixed - google usually provides you a solution.

So far the theoretical part - easy as it is. If everything wents fine you will be running a very stable OSx86 configuration using just the minimal required patches.
