idire Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Attempting to install iATKOS Mac OSx86 Leopard 10.5.5 Intel. The installation went through fine, but attempts at booting just result in the "still waiting for root device error" I have tried to fix this using all the steps on here: Technical FAQ - OSx86 I have switched my two hard drives around turning drive 1 into drive 0, didnt help. -- This is the other message I get: waiting for boot volume with UUID 74FE264C-13DF-34B0-83CD-C43DA2bFDA73 waiting on <dict id="0"><key>IoProviderClass</key><StringID="1">10 Resources</string><key>10ResourceMatch</key><stringid="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict> I think its because of the bootloader looking in the wrong place for the OSX, but i dont know what to change. The vista boot loader and drive config is this: There are a total of 3 entries listed in the Vista Bootloader. Bootloader Timeout: 30 seconds. Default OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Entry #1 Name: Windows 7 BCD ID: {ce196f05-e03e-11dd-b178-d6ca7ab8b836} Drive: F:\ Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Windows Directory: \Windows Entry #2 Name: Microsoft Windows Vista BCD ID: {current} Drive: C:\ Bootloader Path: \Windows\system32\winload.exe Windows Directory: \Windows Entry #3 Name: NST Mac OS X BCD ID: {ce196f0c-e03e-11dd-b178-d6ca7ab8b836} Drive: F:\ Bootloader Path: \NST\nst_mac.mbr 2 hard drives in the pc: Drive One -> C: Drive Two -> D: F: + Mac OSx86 {current} -> IS -> 75ef2c3d-82fb-11dd-9623-e1070a9a7ea0 the computer is a dell dimension 9200, intel quad core Q6600.

idire Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Install the ICHx drivers on your distro.... Then it should boot fine Is that an option on the iATKOS v5i installation? Or do I need to do something else to add them?
