Hey that's great! I'm stuck on 10.6.2 right now (Old LifeHacker vanilla-build) with the same board. Were you able to simply "update" to 10.6.4? With my current build I get a nasty KP.
I'm going to try out the latest iBoot+Multibeast build and I'll let you know.

Also, why can't I find this MB on the DSDT database???

Here's my list of HW:

[*]Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core
[*]Mushkin 4GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2
[*]Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX (not sure REV1 or REV2, I'll check and update)
[*]EVGA 256-P2-N753-TR GeForce 8600 GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready

iBoot NVIDIA was replaced by iBoot. This version works for NVIDIA or ATI cards. iBoot-GE is for the new Fermi cards.

Please let me know what are your BIOS settings. Some parameters listed in tonymacx86's guide are not accessible - as far as I can see.
