I've seen a lot of success on Virtualbox with iATKOS.

And what version iATKOS should i use?
I want my virtual machine to have sound and that it can update to 10.6.8.

iATKOS S3 should be sufficient.

If I were you, I'd do a standard install first, then reinstall with anything you may need if anything goes wrong.

Don't want any unnecessary drivers in there!

Hard to say, boot with -v boot flags and take a picture when it seems to be stuck

When I do nothing the boot loader shows this (Hibernate image is to old by 265 seconds. Use ForeWake=y to override) and when boot with -v it stays stuck.

Hibernate image? That must mean your hibernate mode is not 0...

Run this, if you can, in single user mode (-s):

Code:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

You may or may not need "sudo" at the beginning of the command.
