.aero Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I burned the OSx86 10.4.4/5 patched ISO to a double-layer DVD, and ran it through my external DVD drive (I am installing OSX natively). When I booted up (changed the dvd drive as bootable drive in BIOS), a grey Apple screen came up and after a few minuets a (\) sign came up on the apple, and could not go into installation. I then rebooted and went into -v, and towards the end of a list of things, an error came up. It says- USBF: 58,181 EHCI controller unable to take control from BIOS USBF: 58.182 AppleUSBEHCI[0x2855000]: unable to obtain ownership: 0xe00002be USBF: 58.184 AppleUSBEHCI[0x2855000]::UIMInitialize - Error occurred (0xe00002be) USBF: 58.188 AppleUSBEHCI: unable to initialize UIM Then it starts saying "Still waiting for root device." My Specs: 3.2 gig Pentium Hyper-threading Processor that supposrts SSE3. 1 gig of ram. A 120 gig ATA hard drive (I think?). An external dvd drive (I can buy an internal one if I need too) And a ATI 9600 SE graphics card. Any suggestions to fix this?

.aero Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 Should I try installing off of an internal DVD drive, instead of an external one? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14806-osx86-installation-error/#findComment-94996 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Java Duke Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Yes, try the internal one. Seems like MacOS is very picky about the DVD drives; I even had to update the firmware on my Plextor 740A before I got installer properly boot.

.aero Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 I'll also use a regular DVD disk and see if there is anything up with that too. Hope this works *crosses fingers*.
