okay...here the information you asked for :
1st : i used the iboot cd ( ivy bridge version )
2nd : insert the osx 10.6 dvd
3rd : pressing the f5 key
4th : booting the install dvd...osx 10.6 installed
5th : after installing, i use the "update helper" because the combo update crashed everytime
6th : successfully installation of 10.6.8 update
7th : MB installation with user dsdt and system utilties
8th : frustating face, because osx will boot only to the panic screen, doesn't matter what switch i use ( instead of -x )

If your Motherboard is an Ivy Bridge model ( meaning has a Z77 chipset or similar Ivy Bridge version) and your have a Ivy Bridge CPU
we can not use update helper - we can not use MultiBeast - Snow Leopard will not run on this hardware as the SL Kernel is not going to support it ( Apple didn't update the Kernel- they made newer versions of OSX - Mountain Lion.)
So if its your intention to keep SL and use it you need a Sandy Bridge system; cannot have any Ivy Bridge components.
We can not use the Kepler nVidia Card - remove it
We need to use the HD 4000 GFX of the CPU (if so equipted - is it?)
Set the BIOS to factory defaults - AHCI S3 check for HPET/64
Set the bios settings for IGP video ( internal) not both
Set the Bios video ram to 64 megs
Set the BIOS for Legacy USB support + USB Mouse and Kybd support
Set the BIOS to dislable Virt
Video cable DVI or HDMI ( no VGA) to monitor (VGA support no more in SL from Apple)
Boot w iBoot for IB
