nEOSPa Posted October 19, 2008 Author Share Posted October 19, 2008 Well I have tried several times during this day. I have tried iDeneb 10.5.5 and Leo4All3. But non of them worked for me. I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit installed on a 250 gb disk. I shrunk that volume by 30 gb to use for Mac OSX Leopard partition. Then I booted the OSX DVD and used Disk Utility to format the 30 gb partition as Mac Extended Journaled. After I had done that I went on with the install. I had some difficulties selecting which patches to use with my specs. So I chose those I thought would fit my specs. Then I went on with the install. And it completed successfully. When I rebooted to start Mac OSX Leopard, a menu with both my Vista partition and OSX partition. When I selected OSX, it stopped after a while with the error "Still waiting for root device" or something like that. My Vista partition worked perfect. Any idea what I am doing wrong? And by the way, I am a newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by the way, I am a newbie i dont see you doing anything worng. I've seen several people say they have a "Still waiting for root device" problem. So if I were you, I'd search this forum for this issue and see if there are any fixes available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever get Leo to work? If so...how? I have a dv9700 and Leo 10.5.2 installed on a portable hard drive. It won't recognize it has a bootable system on it and thusly goes straight into regular boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't recognize it has a bootable system on it and thusly goes straight into regular boot. your issue is that you need to either add OS-X to your windows boot loader or set the OS-X partition as active and use the OSX boot loader. or, you system bios is not able to boot from usb mass storage.
