Namek91 Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yeah, I have that's same problem with iDeneb v1.3 - this problem is "Still waiting for root device" - search in google... In BIOS of my Toshiba L20 there is no option to switch my Hard Drive to AHCI too! What should do people, who have 'simple BIOS'??? http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=133142 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133195-help-cannot-boot-installation-on-toshiba-laptop/#findComment-944167 Share on other sites More sharing options...
