New Nvidia ION Motherboard -- osx86 compatible?

Anyone have a guess if this will work under osx86?

I assume the video acceleration wont work, unless the 9300M drivers will work as that is the same video GPU as ION video

iPC 10.5.6 Lenovo ThinkCentre M41 Pentium D -- VooDoo Kernel 9.5.0 Audigy 2 ZS Works!!. 7600GT EFI String (EFI Studio!).Everything works (ethernet, SATA, USB, IDE drives).

I don't know about this Ion board but I have an Acer Revo R3600 which is Ion based

I have tried every single distro I can find and none of them will install. They either reboot the PC during loading the installer or in the case of iDeneb I can get it to install but it stops when doing the first boot at

"using 9175 buffer headers and 4096 cluster buffer IO headers"

and I have no idea on how to get round it. Open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Can be fixed by going into the BIOS and turning off hyperthreading for the Atom CPU.

also may need to use...

"Graphics Mode"="640x480x32" -v
