Still Waiting for root device

[tatsumasadf]

I have a new PC

 

mobo: Abit IX38 QuadGT Speedster

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6750 2.66GHz

RAM:2x 1GB OCZ Reaper HPC PC2-8500

Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 8800gt Plus 1GB

HD:160GB SATA Drive

250GB SATA Drive

160GB IDE Drive <--- want to install OSX on this one

Optical:IDE DVDRW

 

I've tried Leo4Allv3, Kalyway 10.5.2 and iATKOS v1.0ir2 and as soon as it tries to boot from the DVD it throws up on screen

   System config file  '/com.apple.Boot.plist' not found.

 

I added the Chameleon Bootloader to my Leo4Allv3Disc and got past this annoyance only to be stopped by

   Still Waiting for root device
  Still Waiting for root device
  Still Waiting for root device
  Still Waiting for root device
  Still Waiting for root device
  Still Waiting for root device

and I can't figure out how to get past this.

 

Please help

Hello,

I've similar problem but I'm trying to install JAS Osx 10.5.4 on my system.

I tried everything but it didn't work, Disable SATA completely and used IDE dvd-rom and ide hard drive,(hdd master, dvd-rom slave and vice versa), SATA enabled tried booting from sata DVD-rom and sata hard drive. Every possible combination but everytime i get the same thing "Still waiting for root device"

 

this is frustrating, i wish i would have bought Psystar but i would never get the configuration for what i've got under £400.

 

Thanks for reading, please help me!!!
