I have almost same setup..and it WORKS!

I used ATI-2 final (with IDE support, because I just have that DVD-RW)...so it was my only option.

First, check your BIOS settings....nothing OC (load optimized defaults), set AHCI on ICH9, and disable other controller (if you have...I have two extra Jmicron SATA ports).
Hdd must be on SATA of intel chipset (ICH9)! HPET should be Enabled!

1. Boot with ATI-2 iBoot...wait until finished mouting, and chamelon start
2. switch disk to SL installation disk (I buy REATIL and it's on DoubleLayer DVD)...wait until load (maybe 10-20 sec)
3. Hit F5 and wait (about 15-20sec)...then, type busratio=21 and select that NEW ICON (os X Install DVD)...not iBoot cd
4. Then everything should be fine, and SL installer should shown in 5-10min


DO that....and I will help you with rest of customizing....if you able to install

Do you have computer sleep and EIST (speedstep) working on your setup? Sleep works, but won't wake up on mine. When running in 32-bit mode MSR Tools shows that EIST is not working also.

Sleep, restart and shoutdown is working fine, probably and EIST (I dont know how to check in 64-bit). I used userDSDT method...and dsdt.aml file from some Poland forum. I can find it for you if you need it.
