idontgetit Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ (Windsor) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 Chipset: ATI Memory: DDR2 2.0gb (1gb x 2) Graphics: PNY Verto NVIDIA GeForce 6600 256mb PCI-Express Hard Drive: WDC WD2500JS-23MHB0 (SATA) DVD/CD: NEC DVD_RW ND-3550A I've tried using a couple distro's of osx86 (Leo4Allv4.1, iDenebv1.3 with and w/o nForce Patch) and I cannot even get to the menu screens to start installing the OS on my hard drive. I currently am running windows XP and have an unused 30 gig partition (FAT32, which will be reformatted when i can get to the install screens) so I can install osx86 on it. My goal is to try and dual boot with windows xp. Every time I boot off the DVD i get the dreaded "Still waiting for root device" messege. Here is what I see using Leo4Allv4.1: I get similar output when i use iDenebv1.3 any help would be greatly appreciated... i'm still new to the osx86 scene Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155967-installation-help-leo4allv41-or-idenebv13/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why You don't see root device. Next time try any intel chipset.(change motherboard) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/155967-installation-help-leo4allv41-or-idenebv13/#findComment-1099644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
