I've attempted getting up to 10.6.8 many many times and am very new at this. Right now I can boot from ###### if i pop in npci=0x2000  but still, mouse does not work after boot for a good while and usb media is still undetected. I am cursed with [PCI Configuration Begin] at every bootup. At this point, when running I do have the system recognizing my appropriate video card in about this mac. I've ran legacy 10.6.8 ktext and reinstalled with a multitude of options. Yes, I'm difficult in that I want snow leopard, I need universal binary functionality for my copies of photoshop, final cut pro, and after effects. Not to mention I want to utilize screensharing on my network PPC's.

Any suggestions or hints would be greatly appreciated been stuck fiddling with this for about 2 days now.

Update:
Got network functioning
running ###### 3.10.1
-user DSDT
-ALC8xxhda
-appleHDA Rollback
-Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx Ethernet v0.0.90

Also Installed:
CUDA_3.1.17_macosx
Legacy-Kernel-10.6.8


My flash drives do not register, audio still garbled, sleep, Untested. But can access the web, video card correctly Identified by "About my Mac". npci=0x2000 -f required for startup.

Update 2:
At this point I have discovered and now kinda understand ktext utility and have attempted to fix things with that.
Ran:

AppleACPIPlatform.kext
IOPCIFamily.kext
NVInject.kext

There are many other I tried but only those three seem necessary. After Install my [PCI configuration begin] error disappeared. Networking now only works under -f.

Still having difficulty finding an alternative to ######. Cannot boot straight from HD. Not sure if 3 partitions are to blame. Get disk0: error on bios.

However, making this update from the build. It is working nicely and seems very stable despite the usb mass storage/dmg issues and crummy garbled audio. Very fast too.

Current focus on trying to find a fix for audio. Any tips for that I appreciate. Well off to bed. to work a graveyard shift at work and return home to tinker more.

Update: I DID IT!

To complete the build I did something that unexpectedly resolved practically all issues.
I booted with the chameleon boot I did on the other drives Myhack install but booted to one of my backed up clone drives of semi functional 10.6.8. To my surprise it came up easily and way more functional.

This simple step got all external media functioning to the drive. I ran myhack again, ran remove uneccesary extensions. chose to not remove anything I was questioned about and cloned the partition to my first partition. This got chimera to unfortunately take the reigns and function for the first time ever but on boot all was functioning again. Except I was angry seeing that stupid tonycrap apple.

I took one last step. Audio was not 100% non functional.
Removed all hd audio files in extensions and rebooted.

Ran used multicreep 3.10.1 again. Using the advice obtained right here and I checked options for only the following.

-AppleHDA Rollback
-ALC889

That was it. Rebooted and the system is 100% function with only one thing not immediately working. Displays don't come back after sleep. I'll live with it for a bit. In the meantime I Am loving this. Thanks to all who helped.!!!
