pixelbot Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hi I'm having a nightmare trying to install Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2 on my Machine. I get a screen that hangs with "Still waiting for root device" over and over again. I have been looking around and it seems it some sort of sata issue.. I'm very confused. Ill post my specs: Intel Core2Quad 2.66Ghz Q6700 Processor nForce 630i Motherboard nVidia GeForce 7100TS 512MB Graphics 500GB Serial ATA 2.0 With 16MB Cache - SATA Lightscribe 20X DVD+/-RW DL - IDE 4096MB (4GB) DDR2 RAM Memory I'm a bit of a n00b and really desperate to get this working as I'm an avid apple fan and don't want to have to use... *gulp* ...vista!

Seriously, this is a very common issue and lots of info on it. Look for a setting in your BIOS to run your SATA controller in AHCI mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
