disBlade Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 I've also been having the same problem. I just installed 10.5.2 and as soon as it boots everything it says Still waiting for root device. I tried removing my IDE drive and just using my usb cd drive,but no luck. Could it be a hardware problem? Windows XP Professional Ram- 8 Gigs Kingston Nforce 780i sli DVD/CD Drive HP dvd840 Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTX 1 Terabyte-HD-SATA(I split it in half for Windows XP and OSX) 800 Watt PSU I tried setting my IDE drive on master,but that didn't help either. Please help And if your trying to install it the way I fixed it was I used a usb cd drive not SATA or IDE mabye it works for some people,but I'm not sure Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/109218-still-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-774363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
