Hello,

I downloaded the following ISO on the Internet: Snow_Leopard_10.6.1-10.6.2_SSE2_SSE3_Intel_AMD_by_Hazard

 

My Hardware:

Gigabyte EP43-DS3, Bios F9, AHCI Enabled (found this long topic to hack bios: go to thread)

Intel C2D E7400

2x2 GB Dual Channel Interleaved

ATI Sapphire HD 4670

 

LG GH22NP20 @ IDE Master

Samsung SP2504C 250 GB @ Sata Port 0 (MBR, XP x64)

 

Temporary disconnected:

WD15EADS 1,5 TB @ Sata Port 1 (Data)

ST3500630AS 500 GB @ Sata Port 2 (Data)

ST3500630AS 500 GB @ Sata Port 3 (Data)

 

When I try to boot the DVD I got the Error: Still waiting for root device

 

Is it right that it only work if I flash Bios with EFI patch and format the Samsung HDD ?

 

After I buyed the MB I sent it to Gigabyte because of unstable and at last no boot was possible.

Then I got the MB back, flashed with last version F9. So I won't send it again with defect caused by bios flash.

Today I flashed my LG with version 2 because it generally won't boot. Now I'm happy.

 

And one notice: with AHCI enabled XP x64 will not boot. It restarts after loading acpitabl.dat .

 

On my Thinkpad T500 the setup doesn't start, too. But iDeneb v1.6 Mac OS X 10.5.8 Lite Edition worked.
