mountain Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I finished installation and restarted but it hung at the Apple logo boot screen. What did I do wrong? I would appreciate if someone could point me to the right direction.

lizkin Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 a hint in the right direction could be booting with the option -v there you'll probably see why your stuck... what hardware are you using? which installation dvd did you use? what did you install?

lizkin Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 It says waiting for root device... Your disk causes the problem, or better the SATA controller seems not to work with your drivers. try to check your bios settings regarding your sata controller. ist it this mb which is installed? http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/Moth...ID=en-us0000319 cheers, lizkin Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/168220-hangs-at-apple-logo-after-installation/#findComment-1165689 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yes, I believe it is that motherboard. What should I check for in the settings?
