Hey

Today I've installed Mac OS X ideneb 10.5.5 on a partition I've created on an external hard drive (connected using USB). The installation went well, and so I try to boot through the external hard drive, but it doesn't work (just hangs there with a black screen for a couple of seconds), so instead the computer tries to boot through the installation DVD. I've installed the mac on disc1s2 (the second partition on the external hard drive) so in the installation disc's advanced options screen I type "-v rd=disc1s2". It starts to load files and stuff... but after a while it gets stuck and writes:
"Still waiting for root device"


What is that? Is there any way to fix it?


My computer is:
Intel Dou-2 Core 6300 (1.86GHz X 2)
Asus P5B-V motherboard
Geforce 8800-GTS
2GB of RAM


Thanks!!!

"Still waiting for root device" -> is a advice for OSX is incompatible with our chipset/SATA or IDE controller.

Try use other OSX DVD, or try use a External USB DVD Drive.

hi,

i get same problem after i installed leo4allv3, the drive i try to install on is a sata 750gb,

tried to install with iAtkos_v1.0r2, and my drive doesn't get recognised in the disk utility screen, it was erased from the leo4all disk utilyty option.

any solutions for either problems??

Hi guys, i think i have your solution, im not sure, the still waiting root device, its a drivers problem, ss what u have to do? while u are installing Hack OS, choose the drivers for your computer corefull, and mickash01, the iAtkos not supports SATA with high speed, try putting a jumper in the hard disk, or if not result, change OS, download iDeneb or some version of kalaway
