Hi everybody, I'm trying to install Iatkos ML2 in my notebook (acer V3-571G)

 

I made the usb installer from a virtual machine (iatkos ml2 dmg and then Chamaleon), setted up the BIOS (ACHI controller, legacy boot etc)

Anyway, when I boot the usb it's all ok, chamaleon starts, but when I launch iAtkos it hangs at "Still waiting for root device".

 

I emphasize that it crashes when I lounch the USB installer, NOT when I boot the installed system (so, it isn't a problem with the HD controller.. or not?)

 

Obviously I tryed with the basic flags like -v -x -f etc.

 

Can someone help me?

 

(Sorry for my bad english :rolleyes: )

It has nothing to do yet with your ahci controller since you are booting off a usb. My suggestion would be for you to try another USB stick

 

I'll try, I will inform you

Anyway, I tried the key also in other computers, it works without problems..
