Well I'm currently using a VMware version of Lion to get all this done... Is there another way to create my dsdt and ssdt files?

I added back the SSDT.aml into the Extra Folder and here's my boot.plist now:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1600x900x32</string>
<key>Instant Menu</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-f</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>SSDT</key>
<string>Extra/ssdt.aml</string>
<key>SystemType</key>
<string>2</string>
<key>Theme</key>
<string>LoginToLion</string>
<key>busratio</key>
<string>30</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Should I even add back the DropSSDT key/string as well?

RESULT:

I went ahead with the boot.plist above and added the SSDT.aml in the "extra" folder and I got a new KP: http://d.pr/i/WK1e

sorry, in the updated boot.plist I do not have it listed and I get the same KP.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">

<key>Theme</key>
<string>LoginToLion</string>
<key>busratio</key>
<string>30</string>
</dict>
</plist>

it seems to only KP when I remove the DropSSDT string, and when I add it back it goes back to the fuzzy screen. I have also tried the "Graphics" & "GraphicsEnabler=No & Yes" boot commands and it still KPs or Fuzzy Screens...

After I changed the resolution and removed the key/string. It still gives me the same buggy screen. What else could prohibit the graphics kexts from loading?

EDIT:

OK I'll remove the drop line next

EDIT:

I removed the Drop SSDT lines and I got...a kernal panic: http://d.pr/i/oap0

and here's the org.chameleon.Boot.plist that possibly gave the panic:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</plist>

1. I removed your DSDT and SSDT like you said in the USB installer, so no, I'm running with no DSDT until Post-Install.

2. I will remove the key/string and report back.

EDIT:

Here's what my org.chameleon.Boot.plist looks like after the edit:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Just realized that the resolution was changed to 1080. I need to switch it to 1600x900.
