I am in the same boat. This is how far I get. Any help will be appreciated. Am I susposed to run myFix on the usb device after I copy the Extra folder to the usb device?

Have you tried booting -x or pmVersion=0?

 

Also try running a myFix Full mode on the USB stick if those fail.

If Snow Leopard is the target, why don't you try using ModCD (or ModUSB if installing from USB key) to see if you encounter the same issue? My experience is that ModCD/ModUSB gets you to initial installation completion without the need of a bootpack but a few actions are required before 1st reboot:

1) copy of DSDT file to /Extra (absolutely mandatory on Intel 1440x900 D630, otherwise black screen at reboot and external screen required)

2) install/run EDP to install model-specific kexts + latest Chameleon bootloader

 

That normally gets to a "basic" bootable system. Updates can then be installed as required (but remember to re-run EDP after installation of 10.6.8 combo update).
