EggMasta Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hey guys. I have a hp dv5000 with an amd turion 64, ATI Radion Xpress200 and I am trying to install Kalyway 10.5.2. I only have one 80 gig IDE HD. It has one raw partition that I am trying to install the OS on. I keep getting the dreaded Waiting for root device no matter what I seem to try. Any advice? Oh yeah, and my dvd drive is an ATAPI IDE drive Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137305-read-only/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
EggMasta Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Ok I got another problem. I am trying to install it via VMware to a partition i created on my harddrive, then just change the MBR. The problem is once it gets past the POST stage, it stalls forever on a gray screen with a cursor and the drive stops spinning. Anyone got any ideas? localhost ReportCrash[55] mkdir() failed to create /Library/Logs with error: Read-only file system localhost DirectoryService[53]: Launched version 5.2 (v514.4) It hangs after those two lines Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/137305-read-only/#findComment-971869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
