What packages did you select in the Customize window during installation? Did you select the GMA900 package?

 

Also, on some Core Duo machines, one of the cores needs to be disabled to run on OSX. During boot, tap F8 quickly and repeatedly as soon as the screen first turns black. At the command prompt, type: cpus=1

If that works, when you get booted, add cpus=1 to the Kernel Flags parameter in your boot.plist.
