mUsicXbEAt Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Good day. This is my second time installing Leopard (Leo4Allv2). It worked the first time but now I wish to triple boot. Both XP and Ubuntu work great, but when I try to install Leo4All it says "Still waiting for root device" AFTER I install. I enabled my chipset driver and my NVidia card driver...and am using the Vanilla kernel. (It's worked before...) I don't know what's wrong....do I need to add specific args? Please help...I don't think I should be having this problem....Leoaprd's worked before! Thanks in advance, Jason Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100546-still-waiting-for-root-device/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Times_Infinity Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Yeah. I have the same problem. It seemed to work once...But then I restarted, cuz I had to put my pc back together, and it didnt wanna work after that.

mUsicXbEAt Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 I'm thinking about going into Windows and setting the Mac partition as active....maybe that could fix it? But I have heard horror stories about Windows and it's Disk Management o.o Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100546-still-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-717828 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mUsicXbEAt Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Well I know there is a setting in the BIOS for SATA operation and if you change it to like ATA / RAID Autodetect then Mac usually picks it up. But I don't know.... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100546-still-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-718557 Share on other sites More sharing options...
(MoC) Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Set your BIOS to have a primary connection with the data bus your HDD is on. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/100546-still-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-718560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
s23osx Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Try setting your Sata controller to AHCI, and reboot. If it boots then you need to try different kexts for your ATA controller. If you have a SB600 chipset you'll need the "SB600ATA Kexts". They can be found by searching the forum. I also changed the IDE cable I was using which stopped some intermittencies.
