xtraa Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hey, this is just for the records. The problem: It is obvious but I read some topics regarding ICH mainboard users with IDE hds that still can't boot SL with Netkast's AppleIntelPIIATA.kext. They either get a KP with the PIIATA.kext or they get a 'still waiting for root device' without. Even if the device IDs are correct in the .plist of course. The fix: Just delete any AppleIntelPIIATA kext and any IOATAFamily.kext. Use Modbin's Kernel and install your old Leopard IOATAFamily.kext (10.5.8 should work) If you are about to install: Drop the old IOATAFamily in E/E If you already installed SL to your IDE harddrive: Drop the old IOATAFamily.kext into S/L/E and replace it. Don't forget to boot Modbin's kernel. Don't forget to repair permissions (chmod/chown) and Don't forget to kextcache it, if you are using an older Chameleon/PCEFI. After that procedure the system should boot up without any 'secondary IDE Channel disabled' panics and detect your IDE drive.
