shadowsliar Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Greetings all, I've been attempting to solve my OSX86 issues for months with no luck, so at last I turn to you to beg for assistance. My main issue is with my laptop, a HP Pavillion dv5244eu. The system always seems to get the dreaded "Still waiting for root device" error upon attempting to boot from any OSX86 install DVD, with one exception... Recently I attempted to install OS X with the recent iDeneb disto, for some strange reason it managed to pass this error and loaded Installer, I took the chance and decided to give it a go. I made sure to pick the appropriate patches, and the install went on without issue, until I rebooted. "Still waiting for root device" Once again I had been foiled, I was back at Square One. So, I inserted the iDeneb DVD... "Still waiting for root device" Again, nothing seemed to work, I was unable to replicate whatever had happened before that had caused Installer to load and I was stuck. Now, I turn to ask for your help. Could anybody send me in the right direction? As I've said, I'm running a HP Pavillion dv5244eu Laptop with the following specifications(to the best of my knowledge): AMD Turion 64 Mobile Technology ML-34 2Ghz ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 200 ATI Xpress 200 Chipset Broadcom 802.11 b/g WLAN Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC The System is SSE2/SSE3 Compliant, and my Disk Drive is ATA. So, if anybody could atleast point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
