cj95 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 sorry this method only works on iPC 10.5.6 you need to install the chipset driver of whatever chipset you have . for example i have VIA chipset so i installed that... yo can install this by choosing "customize" when installing OSX. if you don't have iPC 10.5.6 try this when your computer reboots , press a key and use this command rd=XXX . xxx is your name of the partition of where you installed osx or hard drive name im not sure if this works, but give it a try Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155764-still-waiting-for-root-device-help/#findComment-1096607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
