10.5.2, Freezes at boot,

Hi, I'll start by putting my specs here for you to laugh at:

CPU: AMD64 3800+
M/B: ASUS A8V-E Deluxe
Chipset: K8T890 [ VIA K8T890 North Bridge | VIA VT8237R South Bridge ]
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 6800 256MB [
NIC: Marvell Gigabit Ethernet [ integrated into M/B ]
[edit: Ripped it out | Sound: SB Audigy1 ]
[edit: HDD: Installing to an IDE hdd, so that shouldn't be the problem.]

Ok, so what's my problem? Well, the DVD (Zephyrots 10.5.2 AMD) booted just fine, installed just fine. But when I try to boot my system after installation, it freezes, the last line I get is either AppleYukon2 .. en0 .. etc .., or then has to to something with the login window application starting. If I don't boot in -v mode, I get the GraySOD, with all six languages. I've tried booting with -v, -f, -x, and even CPUS=1, even though I only have one core to begin with. I've installed the system with the SSE3 CPU [9.2.0] from the DVD, and without it, I've tried installing w/o any extra drivers and with them [NVIDIA: NVinject +256MB, the VIA-drivers, the skge drivers]. And with the same result every time.
I've read about the LAN-freeze-problem, and tried its solution,although it was related to nforce(?): the drivers install/not install, I disabled/enabled the NIC in the BIOS and booted without it connected.
Now, what I haven't done, is booted in -s mode, and played around with some .kexts. Mainly, because I was hoping you'd find me an answer that didn't involve them at all But if you've got ideas, even including them, I'd be very grateful!

EDIT: I've removed the Audigy card, it seemed to cause some problems, and disabled firewire, to get past the 'full-secure' error, now I've got a new error, which loops -- well, for all I know -- endlessly. Check the image I've attached. And yes, I've tried with and without having my eth disabled (via BIOS).

I've 'attached' some further information about my CPU and NIC below:
