methou Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Hi, there ==== update: Solved by changing BIOS: enabling "raid on" ==== I've downloaded iATKOS2.0i from demoinoid, burned, and installed. But when rebooted, it stopped at the gray screen. I've added -v parameter while next reboot, found the problem is idling at "Still wating for root devices" My model is xps410 (also known as Dimension 9200, Dell), which 1.0ir2 is working fine on it. Wondering what's problem... Thanks~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SticMAC™ Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Welcome to the club!! Except for my HP DV6716ez, my Dell 9200 is the easiest to install v2 on! (maybe one day someone will get the NIC working?)

SticMAC™ Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 You can have your 2cents back now!! If you bothered to read: "Hi, there ==== update: Solved by changing BIOS: enabling "raid on" ==== I've downloaded iATKOS2.0i from demoinoid, burned, and installed." He already did solve it! and if you knew, the Dell config, they don't use {censored} like " jMicron IDE controllers"! AND you can have any drive on any connector on the MB and it WILL boot from it! SticMAN guys its a very easy problem to solve, this error means it can't find your hard drive, (the one you are about to install on),it can happen for several reasons: Bios config (play with drive IDE/AHCI mode) drive not primary first (use darwin boot switch rd=diskX) or you are using jMicron IDE controller and iATKOS does not support it (try other distribution, i think iATKOS 2.0 does support it, check the readme file) or your hard drive is IDE (didn't find solution for that with leopard) any way you can use my posts to read more about it, or reply here with followup questions.
