About to give up.

I have spent an entire day trying to get this to work, and now I have stumbled onto [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. I have used bootloaders, and every other thing you could think of. And I continue to get stuck at "Still waiting for root device" Hell, I've even had a friend who is very good at this try and help me and he still couldn't figure out what is wrong. Yes I have HDD's set to AHCI, and I'm pretty sure I have compatible hardware.

 

And yes, I have a retail copy of Snow Leopard.

Please help, thanks.

 

After thinking about it a bit, could it be that I formatted my drive in windows and currently have it as NTFS?

 

Update 1: No, Unallocating the drive caused it to Kernel Panic...

 

Update 2: Tweaking more BIOS led me back to the inevitable "Still waiting for root device"

 

tl;dr: I'm stuck on "Still waiting for root device"

 

Update 3: Fixed multiple ways.

1. My Mobo: (P6X58D-E) Does not like SATA so you must put drive in an external enclosure

2. Rebel-EFI: It helped me install

3. Rebel-EFI Sucks, Install fails

4. I have a MacBook Pro: Installed it through there

5. Am currently battling problems
