When I try to boot up Snow Leopard I get the dreaded "Still Waiting for Root Device" Error

I've tried all the standard methods of fixing this but none of them work

I've also tried several kexts to try to add support for my ATA drive, nothing worked

 

This is my hardware information:

I am using:

 

AMD Athlon64 Processor 2.21Ghz

Nvidia geforce fx 5200 Graphics Card

seagate baracuda 7200.7 ATA Hard drive

Asus K8S-LA Motherboard

1.5 Gb of RAM

 

Any idea of what I need to do to be able to boot into Snow Leopard?

 

Thanks in Advance
