Antman Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I have been using dual boot now since the begining and have never seen this. I am using 10.4.6 with WindowsXP dual boot and everything was fine in OSX last night but I had to boot into windows for some applications that only run in windows and when I booted back into OSX it locked up and in verbose mode is said Waiting for root Device and would not boot anymore. But if I reboot with -s and -v it shows everything loading fine in safe mode. Anyone have any ideas what could cause this and how I can fix it without reloading?

Ritchie Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Try rd=disk?s? disk for number of disk if you have one it should be 0 and S for partition, if you have two it should be 2.. I had experienced it in the past for some reason missing the root device...

Antman Posted May 1, 2006 Author Share Posted May 1, 2006 I tried that fix and was not able to boot still. I am including pictures now to see if they help if anyone else has seen this before. the next error that would pop up after that is "waiting for root device" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/16284-strange-problem-with-osx-and-windows/#findComment-105868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antman Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 OK.. I have really come to the conclusion that 10.4.6 is gonna be unuseable for my with my VIA Chipset using SATA. I reloaded my install again and (I have to install with JaS disk in VMware because the IOUSBFamilly.kext Times out and does not load) it did the same thing again. I have no problems with earlier versions. In 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 their was not problems. I believe my best was Ver 10.4.3 but wish I could have latest and greatest. I dont know how Maxxuss did it but his patches always worked no prob. I may stick with 10.4.3 for now unless anyone knows of a possible fix for this. Anyone else having these problems with VIA Chipset? Anyone know if their is a kext in the 10.4.6 that could possibly be causing this to happen? Please help. Anyone that can help me please help..
