OSX86 on mcp78s laptop

[mysterymacperson]

I'd love to get OSX working on this laptop, and have tried several distros different OSX versions, Kalyway, iDeneb, Leo4all, XxX, with no luck whatsoever, they either load all the kexts and reboot, or halt, or simply sit at the Darwin bootloader and do nothing. I was told on IRC that it may be because of the MCP78S chipset, and that 10.5.6 was released with MCP79 drivers for the new Macbook, but I wouldn't know where to start, or if that's true.

 

I'd appreciate if anyone could help me getting it working, I'll post my specs below hopefully shed some light on it. (Note: I have been Googling and trying things out for nearly 2 weeks, so its not like I haven't tried!)

Also I managed to grab the lspci and lsusb outputs from Ubuntu which should give more detailed info:
