Lion install partition hanging on boot

I am trying to install Lion over my existing SL partition. I created an 8GB secondary partition and used tonymacx86's xMove to put the install files on the secondary partition. I restart my computer which puts me at the chimera boot screen. I arrow over to the secondary install partition and it gets to a point and just hangs.

This is what it shows when I boot verbose mode. I have tried every boot flag I can think of to get it to do something different. -v, -f, -x, npci=0×2000, PCIRootUID=1... all make it go to the same spot where it just hangs. If someone has a solution for me that would be great.

 

Also my this is my build for reference: Intel DP55WG, Intel i5-750, XFX HD 5750

I should have posted this before... but no one else had this problem so I thought it wasn't relevant. After I boot the installer partition and it gets to the DSMOS hang, if I press the power button it will KP (See Attached). I'm not sure if that is supposed to happen or not.

It looks like you need NullCPUPowerManagement kext in your Extra/Extension folder. Try it.

I tried this with no effect. I'm not sure how Tony's xMove actually works, but it feel like it pulls the extensions from the SL partition because I get instant KP without NullCPUPowerManagement.
