Default Help installing SL please - solved - 02-08-2010, 10:02 PM

I have tried to install OS X 10.6 via mechdrew's guide found here: NetbookInstaller 2: USB Mac Installation via Any Operating System | Guides | OS X | mechdrew

I get up to step 13 on the Installation section
But shortly after the installation process starts, i get an error that i suppose was expected during the installation process, but it came really quickly. I try to go on to the next step where I boot back into the bootloader, but i get the message, "Can't find mach_kernel". I'm able to get past that message by pressing shift, but the only drive displayed is the "Mac OS X Install DVD" selecting the only option given, i get a "Memory allocation error (0x1039a9c0, 0x6dff0000)" and then I am stuck.

BIOS A04
16gb STEC
USB legacy is enabled

any ideas? i've tried reformatting my SSD and tried to install OS X again, but the exact same thing has happened.
