I think tomorrow or the weekend I might open it up again, make sure all
the connections are tight on the drives and wherever else, then if that
doesn't work blow it all away and start over and just use the HDD for
the OS.

I can reseat the memory, I had to remove it to do the drive installs,

sticks 12GB, never any issues but maybe messing with it got it buggered.
I installed the OS from the DVD. Is the 10.6.8 a full install or
just updates somehow? I can download it onto a USB stick and try to
upgrade/install from it. I'll probably do that anyway to get the
file, plug the laptop into the router with a cable to bypass the wifi
and the router's issues.
It bombed off the 10.6.8 download, now the machine appears to have
gone to sleep and won't wake up, rebooting again...
I'm wondering if I should reformat and start over, put the OS on the
HDD and TM everything to it instead of the SSD/HDD to see if that
makes any difference.

probably the most common problem on installs if the memory has been
changed out at the same time. Might not be a bad idea to remove and
reseat it just for grins.
You shouldn’t have any problems with the install if you’re doing it
straight to an SSD. For that matter, the system doesn’t know it’s an
SSD, so that has no bearing on the install. I believe you have other
problems.
What are you using to do the install, the optical drive or a USB stick?

I got the home folder moved, and the machine is booting to the new
home folder on the HDD. BUT, the thing keep crashing, I have had to
restart it a bunch of times as it gets hung on doing just about
anything. I got to the part of doing a MA of the TM backup, it
wanted to put everything on the SSD so I unchecked the old home
folder (was 600some GB) and tried to start putting the other files,
which were not much, on the SSD. It got hung doing that so I shut
it down and restarted again.
I am unable to start say the system preferences then the Activity
Monitor and/or the MA, SP gets hung and the wheel just starts
spinning... or much of any combination that is not in some
particular sequence.
Right now I restarted it, started up Safari, and am trying to
download the 10.6.8 update and it was going fine now it is lugging
along at 58KB/s and is going to take half the night to get
downloaded. I'm hoping that might get the machine sorted out, but
I'm wondering if the OSX install on the SSD did not go well, or the
SSD is not working right. It is booting quite fast though, so the
SSD has made quite a difference.
There was a significant problem too installing the OSX and actually
getting through the process, it would hang on kinda the final steps,
"Create Your Accounts" which I found to be some sort of known issue
in general, bypassing all the stuff about turning on the network,
logging into AppleID, etc. finally got me mostly through it though I
ended up creating 2 or 3 accounts, then had to reformat the SSD a
coupla times and do a new install.
This has been an extremely frustrating process, I am thinking it
should not be this hard.
Now I am getting a spinning wheel outside of the Safari window, and
the machine is hung again... restarting for about the 20th time...
