SL Foxconn p55a troubles

[crazymaurice]

As I've been struggling for a while now getting Leopard to work on my machine:

 

(Foxconn p55a mobo, core i7 860, 8gb ddr3 ram, geforce 8800gt 512)

 

So I thought I'd try to see if I had any luck with Snow Leopard.

 

I decided to give tonymacx86's boot cd method a try

I know there aren't currently any specifically for my motherboard, however, the MSI and Asus boot images got the furthest -

 

The problem: these will only work if I boot into safe mode, but doing this makes the installation 'fail' when it gets to the end.

 

When I try booting normally I get a kernel panic that looks like this:

 

Does anyone know any commands I can try to let it boot without safe mode and this kernel panic?

 

I've tried these: (seperately, combinations or all at a time)

cpus=1 busratio=20 maxmem=2048 noapic -x32 io=0xffffffff io=0x144

 

Cheers

EDIT:

 

Managed to do a massive install workaround involving another mac, however the same problem is there, will boot up in safe mode to the first run screen (I can't get past that because I have no USB keyboard and the kexts I installed obviously don't like safe mode)

 

Anyway, one step closer to what I thought was impossible: Installing a Mac operating system on a foxconn p55a motherboard.
