Krosis Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 I'm using Zephyroth Leopard 10.5.2 AMD EFI image. My processor is AMD Turion 64 with SATA drives. When I put in the disk and boot, i get the following image with no text error of any sort. And I have already tried the safemode, etc. Same result. Does anyone know what the problem is? PS. I waited for 30 minutes after that screen, nothing happened. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/105986-grey-screen-of-death/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krosis Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 It says "still waiting for root device." Does it mean I should get another type of hard drive? I currently have SATA. If so, what type would work? IDE? ATA? Thank you. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/105986-grey-screen-of-death/#findComment-753280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevy2410 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Those pics don't tell us anything. What chipset is in that notebook? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/105986-grey-screen-of-death/#findComment-754622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krosis Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Those pics don't tell us anything. What chipset is in that notebook? The chipset I'm using is: ATI RS690/RS690M Rev. 0 And I'm not sure if this is relevant, but Southbridge is ATI SB600. Might this chipset be incompatible??
