stagecrew Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 Ok. I have an AMD system with an Nvidia 7025 / nForce 630a chipset, 2gb of ram, 1 SATA hd, 1 IDE, 1 SATA DVD drive. I first downloaded the Leo4Allv3, with Jas' patch for 10.5.3. On booting this, I ran into "Waiting for root device". After some research, I ended up patching the ISO with the old nForce drivers. Now, when I boot I get a kernel panic about the journal being corrupt. When I try booting with my IDE hd unplugged (I used that for backup, and I don't want to lose the files on it accidentally) I get the same error. Just out of curiousity, I booted with the IDE hd plugged in and the SATA hd unplugged. Then, I get "Waiting for root device" with both install DVD's. Should I try switching the order that the DVD drive and the SATA hd are plugged in? Or is there a command that I can pass to the bootloader to ensure it is finding the right hd or partition? I am just a little confused as to why the bootloader is bothering to try to read my journal.. When I burnt my dvd, I told it to burn at 1x, but I think it burnt at around 4x. Thanks for the help! - Derek UPDATE:B ooting with "-x", leaves the machine hanging just after "Loading VirtualAudioDriver.kext" .. Could it be a bad disk?

syxx7 Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 I have the exact same system.The Problem is the Jas' patch for 10.5.3 Just try Leo4allv3 with old nForce drivers only. Worked perfectly for me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115388-amd-nforce-630a-kernel-panic/#findComment-817266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagecrew Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Thank you! Using a reburnt disk, I got another kernel panic, in a different place .. so I was about to give up. By the way, is there anything on your system that doesn't work? Ethernet, sound or anything? Thanks for the encouragement! - Derek Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/115388-amd-nforce-630a-kernel-panic/#findComment-819109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
