robi39 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have Toshiba P305D-S8828 with the AMD M780V chipset. this is what happening with iAtkos v4a. Installation goes fine without a hitch, but when boots up it restart the machine before even gets to the apple logo loading screen. I tried to install it to a USB drive, it installs fine and does the same thing when it reboots. Other distros not working they either come up with still waitin for root device message or don't even boot. Tried Ideneb v1.3, Leo4all v4.1. Also tried different customization when installing iAtkos, all of them do the same thing. It's probably not the SATA controller cause it's the same thing on the USB drive. Please help I'm out of options Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137007-amd-rm70-w-m780v-chipset/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacNutty Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Try installing iDeneb with external DVD drive, your Still waiting for root device problem will be solved.
