EagleMac Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have tried installing Leo4All V3, iAtkos v2.0 and Kalyway 10.5.2. All of these gives message "Waiting for <Dict..." and hangs in the installation. Only Kalyway went one step forward with cpus=1 and gave message "kalyway ACPI_SMC_CtrlLoop::initCpuCtrlLoop PMCpuControl (PMIOCSeTPSTATETABLE) returned 0xffffffff" anbd hangs in there. Keyboard does not respond. I tried waiting for about 1 hour too. but nothing happened. Below is my configuration CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 Ghz MB : Intel DG33FB RAM : 2 GB Transcend HDD : SATA 160 GB formatted with first partition FAT32.(plugged in port 0) Tried even without formatting and partitioning. DVD Writer : LG SATA (plugged in port 4) Also tried in port 1 No external Video card. I even tried with IDE HDD and DVD. Got the same hanging issue in that too. I tried setting the BIOS drive configuration to below 1. Legacy with Smart disabled 2. Native, IDE with SMart disabled 3. Native, AHCI with Smart disabled 4. Native, AHCI with Smart enabled I even tried with cpus=1 -f -v -s -x Nothing seem to help me go further. Also there is no error or exception show while loading. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMac Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks dude. It all started working like magic once i added 8500GT. Even sound worked. All the core worked without having to do any configuration while installing except for selecting the partition to install. I used the Kalyway disk. Wonderful. Just have to check out the networking.....installation took less than 25 minutes. Cheers Man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian Rooks Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 i think most of the users having problem with "still waiting for root device" are using nvidia geforce 7 series graphics cards like me. i've tried every thing, i mean every thing from bios settings to setting up hard drives and dvd roms. nothing working with iatkos 5i 10.5.5. replacing card with 8 series is not a solution. there must be a solution. any idea????????????????????
