Lanceomni Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Still waiting for root device This is generally one of three things: 1. If you are using PATA (The old IDE Ribbon Cable Drives) you will want to make sure that the drive you are installing to is set to MASTER via the jumpers and the actual drive itself. Id also recommend that you have the drive on the cable's first connector. 2. If you are using SATA drives try going into the BIOS and changing the SATA Mode from AHCI to IDE. 3. Chipset related. If your booting the install disk and are getting this issue and the first two do not fix the problem its probably chipset related. In the case of SATA, some motherboards have more than one SATA control and so one or the other may be compatible. You can check your user manual or online to see if this is the case and then plug into the appropriate connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats my problem if everything working? 1)Do I really need to get to 10.5.6. to install proper drivers for ATI? 2)Do I need to use specific kernel to make it?? 3)Is there a kernel version that I have to update for each one of update? --------------------------------------------------------------- I have got pentium 4 based processor I think based on series 6xx 90nm because I have got 2mb cache L2 EMT64, SSE3 So now Im working on sleep kernel 9.2. --------------------------------------------------------------- 1) If for first quastion answer is yes, how can I do it on my machine?
