mega Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I have tried every one of my dvd drives on my dell 9100 dimension all fail with "Still waiting for root device" the norton ghost of 10.4.4 works great, but does not have any drivers that I need unfortunatly I cant install 10.4.3 or 10.4.4 or 10.4.4/5 all hang on the root device anyone know of a drive brand/model that's known to work? some of my drives wouldnt even boot off the dvd, some did and then get to the point where they fail waiting on root device it must be really picky about dvd drives, lots of people have the same error with a variety of chipsets, pretty sure I have a intel chipset in my dell Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11080-104x-working-boot-install-dvd-drives/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mega Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I guess 10th time is the charm? I got 10.4.4/5 to install, but no nic or sound card mine are supported by 10.4.3 but none of these iso's have those drivers, and 10.4.3 wont install for me is there any way to extract them from a 10.4.3 install dvd?
