Cittidel Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Hello all, I have limited knowledge of installing OS x86 from installing it on a Dell Vostro and an XPS, but this is for a computer that I've built. Distros I've tried so far with pictures: Leopard AMD 10.5.1 - http://imgur.com/h4fwp.jpg iDeneb 1.4 - http://imgur.com/WMaL7.jpg iAtkos S3 - Reboots iAtkos v7 - Read that it worked with 750a chipsets, but reboots as well. I'm currently looking at Leo4all and iPC, I'm not short on DVDs (I bought a stack just because I know how hit and miss OS x86 can be), but I'm starting to think that I'll have to add drivers in manually, which brings me to my problem: Can someone help me with the 'Still waiting for root device' problem? Spec is in the signature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spec is in the signature! Right dude i will give you a helping hand.. this still waiting for root device normally means that the disc won't be compatible with your system.. what are you installing too? Intel or Amd? It's taken me a year to perfect the installing method and only just managed today to get it too work, more than happy to share my knowledge with you.. First it could just be a dodgy way you start the disk up, give this a go, little tip i have found which is so handy Stick in your disk then start up immediatly press either F8 or F12 then select your DVD/CD Drive.. wait for the timer to count down! important!!!! Type in -v then press enter this should overcome the still waiting for root device if not then get in contact and i will help as i have had this problem with the ipc distro. hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cittidel Posted September 30, 2010 Author Share Posted September 30, 2010 I appreciate the help Mr Stevee, however I found that I wasn't using the latest iDeneb, and someone with a similar (loosely used word) build had luck with it. I'll update my post when I find out what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
