Here is a quick guide how to get it going in less than 15 minutes. This guide assumes that you have a running 10.5 and a spare disk.

Configuration:
MOBO = Asus P5K-Deluxe (any P5 will do)
Video card = Nvidea GT8600 512MB

Files for grab:
Archive.zip

How to:
Get your drive ready by creating 2 partitions GUID; one will be named "install" the other one "os".

1. Mount your 10A432 image on you desktop.
2. Open Terminal and run the following commands:

Code:

sudo -s

type your password and then type:

Code:

chown 0:0 /Volume/os

3. Open Disk Utility and select Restore, source: your 10A432 image and destination: install
4. When DU is done with the restore, go back on a new Terminal windows and type:

Code:

open /Volume/os/System/Installation/Packages/OSInstall.mpkg

5. You should have a splash installer in front of you by now...start the installation and make sure you select "os" as destination hard disk.
6. When the installation is successfully completed do not reboot.
7. Install Bootloader2 and replace the Boot file in the root of os with the one included (color blue).
8. Put the dsmos.kext into /Volume/os/System/Library/Extensions
9. Repair your disk permission by running this code in Terminal:

Code:

sundo -s
chown -R root:wheel /Volume/os/System/Library/Extensions/*
chmod -R 755 Volume/os/System/Library/Extensions/*

10. Reboot and be ready to hit tab to enter the following:

Code:

-x -v

11. Enter safe mode finish the registration and open KextUtility and wait for full service for os.
12. Reboot without any argument on Kernel, you are good to go...and in 64bit

A few things,

I noticed that you have your HD as a folder on the desktop, and also in your archive you don't have an update jmicron64bit kext or a achiplist injector. I can provide those to you if you want to add them (those will fix your hd as a folder issue i believe), also, if you try to repair disk premissions, I can almost guarantee it will fail. For a "perfect" install, after doing your walkthrough, from within snow leo, install snow leo onto another HD. When you install Snow Leo from within Leopard, the installer craps out on alot of the scripts, causing a bunch of issues. I also have DSDT instructions and TheKing made a kext for our audio (plist) that will give you audio on first boot. I can point (or email) you to them. Excellent walkthrough otherwise. I only found the answers to somethings through ALOT of trial and error.
