I'm using Kallaway 10.5.2 on an nforce 750i, which is pretty much a 650i with a different name, as far as I know. I can't get install to get past the initial text scroll. I've tried booting plain, "nforce", "nforce -v", "nforce -v -x", and "nforce cpus=1 -v -x", they all eventually end up at:

Still waiting for root device

 

I've tried shuffling the SATA connectors around a bit on my mobo, but nothing changes, sometimes there are more copies of the above lines, or less, but it always stalls. I have no IDE drives of any kind connected.

 

There is very little on Google that seems relevant, and the one thread I did find was in French.

 

Anyone know of a fix?

I've also tried various settings in my BIOS that have to do with IDE extension and NVraid, or anything SATA related, nothing seems to change anything. Either it turns out the same or my SATA drives disappear completely.

 

I'm trying to use Kallaway, but I have a legit copy of 10.5, and 10.4.something, and an actual Core2Duo iMac, if they can be used to help in some way.

 

Is there any way around this?
