trouble installing retail snow leopard 10.6 on lenovo y550p no obvious issues

[stopfire]

So I have been working a lot with my laptop trying to dual boot snow leopard and windows 7.

I have been following this guide from Komano here step by step since I have the exact same laptop as him.

 

Motherboard:

North Bridge Intel DMI Host Bridge Revision 11

South Bridge Intel PM55 Revision 11

 

CPU:Intel® Core i7 CPU Q 720 @ 1.60GHz

Ram: 4GB of Ram

GPU: Nvidia GT240M

Audio: Realtek ALC272

Ethernet: Broadcom BCM57780

Wifi: Intel Wireless 5300AGN

 

I have gotten as far as the Chemeleon screen with the Macosx Installation option and have tried all sorts of combinations of -v, -f, busratio=12, -x, cpus=1. Here are the images of what shows up.

 

 

and then after the 4th screenshot it automatically reboots. I have my BIOS set to ACHI and have tried with virtual settings, wireless, lan options all disabled.

 

I'm not sure what is causing this from the boot screen, I don't see any errors.

 

But I will go over what I have done and maybe someone can catch something I am doing wrong.

 

I partitioned my hard drive for the future Snow Leopard installation.

I took an image of a retail 10.6 Snow Leopard and restored it onto a thumbdrive that is in a GUID partition table.

 

Took the i385 folder from the Chameleon RC5 and did all of the commands that were in the mini tutorial from the link that I posted above.

 

Because I have 10.6 I took the OSInstall.mkpg from here and the OSInstall from here and put them in the correct folders replacing the files already there.

 

And that's it, I plugged it into my laptop, booted it up, chose the MacOSx installation and then the pictures i have linked show the rest.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?
