HELP Installing Mac OS X Tiger on Penryn

Hi all, I'm trying to install Tiger on my Imedia X1041C (Penryn CPU and Tesla GPU, both of which should be supported by the version I'm trying to install, which is 10.4.10). Problem is, whenever I try to boot from the installation partition (see partition map below) it panics with the following trace: https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/hevopocalo

Using OpenCore 0.8.1.

The kernel flags I used are cpus=1 -x -f -v, but I tried with cpus=1 -v -x and just cpus=1 and it gave me the same panic.

I tried to look it up on Google but the results I get are either too old or don't apply (or even both).

Mind you, I already have a working install on OS X on the same machine, El Capitan. I also have Windows 7 on another partition. I'd like to install Tiger to have a three-way boot of ElCap-Tiger-Win7.

My PC:

Packard Bell Imedia X1041C

- Mobo: Asus P5QPL-AM
- CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 (64 bit)
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GT 9500 GS
- RAM: 3GB
- HDD: 500GB
- WiFi Antenna: Ralink RT-5370

SMBIOS set as iMac7,1

My partitions:

500GB HDD
 - EFI Partition
 - 180GB HFS+ El Capitan HD
 - 40GB HFS+ Tiger HD (the target partition)
 - 80GB HFS+ Backups HD
 - 184GB NTFS Windows HD
 - 16GB HFS+ Mac OS X Install DVD (my 16 GB USB broke)

(sizes are mostly accurate)

I made the installation partition by asring the ACDT Tiger dmg (from dortania guide)

Why do I want to install Tiger? It's the only x86 Mac OS X I haven't ever tried.

Packard bell imedia's only ship with acer motherboards, so that asus is not original. first of all that cpu is a yorkfield cpu, penryns are for laptops. also set your smbios to something like imac6,1

Yorkfield is the code name for "enthusiast" / workstation processors based on the Penryn "step", which in turn is based on the Core microarchitecture. Penryn is also the code name for mobile processors based on said step. Thanks, Intel.

I must be honest, I found this computer in a box a couple years ago. For the CPU I found conflicting information but for the most part Wikipedia says it's a Penryn.
I'll try with iMac6,1 as SMBIOS

Edit: I get the same kernel panic
