kdtt Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Remove orangeiconfix.kext if you have one. I did when I had that problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sselshamy Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I cant find this kext, is it exist on original Mac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdtt Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 You mean orangeiconfix.kext? this kext makes orange icons to grey internal disk icons. It is one of the injectors .only with plist. It's not in real mac. if your hard disk icon is grey. then you might have similar injector of different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itOtO Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Boots on your OSX Lion partition, and installs chameleon, Extra, boot.plist, smbios.plist and your kexts on your Moutain Lion partition (just change the installation location). And then you should be able to start on Moutain Lion without the "Still waiting for root device..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fallen101 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Try changing in your BIOS settings to; IDE to AHCI or AHCI to IDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dish5 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 i have seen and solved this many times this way. M/L must be installed on HD 0,2 if you have other hd's or partitions that have a bootloader installed it will conflick. sata drive should be from sata port 1 i f possible M/L should be installed on first patition then the drive will have the ID of HD 0,2 that is what the M/L bootloaders are looking for if its hd 1,2 or something else it will stall looking only for HD 0,2 rearange your HD'S and remove any extra usb or external drives 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks for helping me but I tried that many times but still no fix Have you tried delete PlatformSupport.plist in S/L/coreservices. !!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sselshamy Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Indeed I have 4 HDs, 1 SSD and the rest are HDD, I will try to disconnect all except ML HD and will feed you back, thank for this advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 You can't use arch=i386, boot 64 bit and remove DSDT for now, should not be needed to at least boot to desktop and can cause probs on dual boot setups, can re-add it later. Also keep in mind even the newest Chameleon versions do not support booting Mountain Lion, you have to use ErmaC's branch with ML support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
