Gujal Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 There are known issues using SATA DVD Drive on nForce chipset based motherboard for OSX install. Of course there is nothing wrong with that combination under Windows. You will have better luck using a IDE DVD Drive for OSX Installation. There are lot of posts relating to this issue.

isildur Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Checked better... the DVD is an ATA that connects through Ide Cable. I managed to switch it to Slave setting through its jumper and started leo4all with -x -v options. It arrived since the points where it recognize the sata drives (I believe ) and then waits for something and says still waiting for root device..see attachment Any help please?
