jonit Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I´ve tried to install different versions of osx86 (Kalyway 10.5.2, Ideneb 1.3 10.5.5 and Boot-123 with retail osx 10.5.4) and on my Zepto Znote 6625WD NOTEBOOK, but unfortunately with no luck so far. The installation halts at the same place, no matter what version i have tried to install, beeing the place where i tries to initialize the Firewire OHCI port. I´ve included a photo of the halted boot screen, using the boot flag -v. The last lines contaning the errors (as far as i can see) are as follows: (but there may be other errors that I have missed?): IOatacontroller device blocking bus IOCardbridge: start failed Firewire (OHCI) TI id 803a PCI now active, GUID 1111111111111111; max speed s400 Error: Firewire unable to determine security mode: defaulting to full secure Still waiting for root device ... This last message is repeated! And.... nothing happens anymore! Please help, any suggestions are very appreciated. Be aware that i am a total newbie on osx86, so please explain what to do! :censored2: I have Vista ultimate 64 bit installed on first partition, end and empty 2. partition ready for the osx install.

kronepils Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Hi. You can't boot from a SATA DVD drive. You either have to use an external or disable AHCI (I think) in BIOS. I'm writing this from memory, but search "still waiting on root device". You are not alone!! Good luck, ./Troels Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/133773-install-halterrors-ohci-iopccardbridge-ioatacontroller/#findComment-965509 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonit Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 I dont understand?, why cant i boot from an sata dvd drive? i´ve just made an succesfull osx86 install (boot-123, retail osx 10.5.4) on a Asus Pk5 MB statinary PC from an sata DVD drive! I have no option to enable/disble ACHI in my zepto 6625 bbios! The retail osx 10.5.4 boots just fine from the boot-123 standard image, but halts at the firewire initialisation!
