[TrYp MyNe]

do what zandera said, try to put in cpu=1 and boot. that should fix your problem for booting the disk. if not, then try -v -x and see. i don't know what to tell you from there, except not to use the new Phenom lol, may be to beastly for osx to handle the amd phenom.

its cpus=1 NOT cpu=1

Quick Fixhey i had that still waiting for root device tooo my hard drives are connected with a ATA cable.What i did was put the hard drive ATA cable and put the end of it in the motherboard where the cd rom drive is supposed to be connected to the motherboard. And then put the CD rom ATA connecter end of the cable where the harddrive is, which is usually a blue color and connected that to the cd rom drive. Just switched it so the CD Rom dirve is the primary Master and the hard drive is the Second Master. That fixed it for me.Hope u understand what im trying to say lol...Heres what an ata cable looks like http://www.gshop.com.au/images/ide_133_cable.jpgTell me if this works

[rusky04]

i have different cables, im already clueless what to do read so many forums had different suggestions and still nothing
