Default "Still waiting for root device" after installation!!

Hi, I have a problem!

I have installed Ideneb 10.5.5. The installation is ok but when I started the OS, appear "Still waiting for boot device". It's strange because during the installation the hard disk is viewed! Probably the problem is the chipset that I choose before the installation (I have ATI x200 chipset and I've choose VIA-SB). It's correct?

My pc is:
Notebook HP Pavilion dv5078ea
AMD Turion 64 ML-34
Motherboard Hewlett-Packard Pavilion dv5000 (ET041EA#ABZ)
Chipset:
NorthBridge ATI RS480M
SouthBridge ATI SB400
Graphic Card ATI MOBILITY RADEON Xpress 200 Series

I read that there are problems with this chipset, but there are the solutions?? Because the installation is ok! I choose wrong parameters before installation (kernel,chipset,...)?

Thanks for help!

The only thing that can be is the wrong HDD controller kext. You will need to reinstall the whole system, formating the drive, and select the right kext.

ok, but how I do for installer kext? Where is the correct kext for my Notebook? Because during the installation I can't select kext but only kernel. Can I use the shell?

Thanks
