shriek Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I just posted about my installation with a similar specs just 2 days ago and the post is active. you should have searched. Go and read it. short answer: RADEON XPRESS 200 are all (I don't know any that is not) RS48X chipset based and you can only install via VMware.

Wolfmight Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Vmware runs it so slow I wish there was a way for it to just ignore the xpress 200mb chipset Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14872-hp-pavilion-dv5000-gives-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-95374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
segadc Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 When you delete AppleTPMACPI.kext the speed increases! Before without anything my CPU would be 100%. Now it' faster and the CPU barely uses its resources. I have the same laptop as you do...

shriek Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 With your specs I don't think it should be slow (or you're just impatient). Did you followed the vmware configuration correctly? I had my whole system reinstalled in 105 minutes: that includes installing winxp, then vmware and daemon tools (and macdrive even though i didn't use it) and includes installation of 2.8GB of Macosx! I don't think this is slow .

Wolfmight Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Well, it's better than nothing. I use OSX86 with Vmware on my Desktop PC with is 1.6Ghz Amd Sempron64 with 1gb RAM 256MB Nvidia 7800GT. OSX86 with Vmware was just a lil laggy on it, even with that AppleTPMACPI.kext deleted. My laptop's CPU is "much" faster, so maybe I wont run into the same amount of lag with the dock and stuff. Btw, I noticed there are various OSX86 Patches and such. Do the ATI ones allow the disk to startup without the "still looking for root device" {censored}? (I'm guessing no? ) I wish I could have it install native on my lappy, because I've heard it's so much better that way. Vmware probably works so well, because of DaemonTools emulating the DVD right off the hardrive. I'm looking for Fireware upgrades for my laptops dvd rw/r drive, but I cannot find the brand name. All I know about it so far is the following: Peripheral Type: ATAPI Model: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4082N Already checked Windows Update and HP.com's dv5000 download section for drivers/fireware, but there arn't any. Also used DriverDetective and it didn't find anything either. It must be some offbrand, generic HP DVD RW/R drive or something. Is there a way for me to boot the OSX86 10.4 Generic Install DVD off my USB External Hardrive?

Wolfmight Posted April 14, 2006 Author Share Posted April 14, 2006 I recently read you can install OSx86 with WMware, then transfer it to a real partition to boot naively. Is this possible? If so, how often does it work? How do you accomplish this?

Wolfmight Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 Alright, I got OSX86 up and running in VMware...having it installed on a physcial partition of my hardisk. (never new it was possible to have both NTFS and OSX (HFS+?) partitions on the same hardrive...but it appears to be very possible) There's still one problem though. I can't boot into OSx86 natively! I've already tried applying an ATI ATA kext and using several boot options in Darwin including: -v, -x, -f, rd=disk0s2, and platform=X86PC. I think the ATA chipset might be HP, but I hear laptops with ATI Xpress 200M chipsets onboard probably have an ATA chipset made by ATI as well. Still havn't deleted the ApplePS2 kext recommended by some people...but will it disable my mouse? Here's a screenshot of what I get. Basicly, everytime I try to boot OSX86 natively, it pauses on that "Firewire" text then after about a minute or two, I get the message, "waiting for root device" always". This repeats every minute or so...over and over. Any programming intellects out there notice where the problem is? Does it have to do with the follow text: IOPCCardBridge::start failed Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14872-hp-pavilion-dv5000-gives-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-97383 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gato_shin Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I'm using Acer Aspire 5022, Same Chipset Xpress200M, same problem with 10.4.1. It's because the OS cannot recogonize your chipset if you boot up with outlinked DVD rom, you'll find out that the ata info. is missing....... When using 10.4.5, nolonger waiting for root device but get another problem.....

Wolfmight Posted April 17, 2006 Author Share Posted April 17, 2006 Well, I installed the ATI200 chipset kext and the problem still exists. This one has stumped me. Seems everyone is having the most problems with getting OSx86 to even boot in native. Few can't even get it up in VMWare Apple should just release a copy of OSX for PC. They would probably make "even more" money having millions buy OSX for PC, than forcing people to buy Apple computers to run a fully functional copy of OSX. Silly Steve!!! Think about it... one hundred thousand paying $1,000 each, or twenty million paying $200 for OSX for PC? Personally, the 2nd choice... indeed. Can't beat millions paying 1/5 of the price...you make more! I suppose Steve thinks PC users are a buncha Pirates , but the truth is...Tons of Macintosh users are also Pirates. OSX only torrent sites, files, etc... Piracy is everywhere! OSX for PC will make no difference. The majority pays for it anyways.

placebo Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I got exactly the same problem with ur LOL Dunno what the hell is the "root device", just right after the firewire detect message and it repeat forevahr. I tried all the combination of -s -x -F -v, not a luck. Mine is a HP Pavilion zv5000 P4 Northwood 3.0Ghz 512MB RAM 60Gb Fujitsu 5400rpm ATI9000IGP I used the Myz's ISO, 10.4.5. 2 days searching for solutions and not a light. I think im gonna give up.

alecb Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 got the same problem but no ATI xpress 200 chipset, runing it on a custom HTPC setup with AMD 3000+ venice cpu, is this strange? installed it with vmware. using 10.4.5 will try unplug my firewire card, just in case.

Wolfmight Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Sucks when you try 20 different suggestions on this board and OSx86 still don't boot native! What a stubborn crocka sheit! VMWare is sloww, so ya barely get 10% of your CPU's performance in there. Windows runs pretty decent in VM, but OSx86... better off customizin' XP than snapin' one day from those bloody bootlenecks. FlyakiteOSX is the best OSX emulation package for WindowsXP. Includes over 50 peices of software to make your XP system look as close to OSX as possible.

GateKeeper Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I do not believe that the ATI X200 Xpress Chipset is the problem.. I have a desktop machine with the chipset and do not recieve the error.
