I've managed to install Rev 1 on my NForce 570 machine after injecting new SATA kext. Now the only problem remaining for me (besides lacking audio support) is my video card.
I have a GeForce 7900 GS card and when I try to boot it gives me a kernel panic. I've deleted the GeForce, NVDANV50 and Resman kexts and Leopard will boot with basic display support.
I tried installing NVInject, but that just causes Leopard to display nothing but a blank screen shortly before the login window should show up. It would do the same in safe mode after installing NVInject.
What driver is shipped in Rev 1? What would be the best solution for my particular card?

Correction, it seems Macvidia 10.8.1 is the driver giving me issues...
