Rickylex Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 it give me a firewire error and the last is Root device error How did you installed Mac OS X? On what disk, do you dual boot, Did you only install Mac OS X on the whole partition? You can try booting with -v -x -f cpus=1 rd=disk0s1 if Mac OS X is the only operating system installed on the whole partition.

StanelyDOG Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 It took me 35min to fix it. I simply reinstalled the OS. DO NOT format you disk, just relaunch the installer and let do his thing.
