tazza25281 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hi, I have asked this before and had no response. Can someone help me install iPC 10.5.6 on my machine. Whenever i attempt to install i am able to get to the white screen but nothing else. It just comes up with the failed icon. So i cant even get into the installer. If i use the Kalyway 10.5.2 I cant even get that. All i get is the loading script then the PC restarts. I also tried 10.4.8 but still it installs fine then can even get it running i just get kernal panic. Now im onto 10.5.6 iPC and not able to install. Can someone have a look at my specs below and give me some pointers please.

gazepo Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 OK. So as a first step burn a dvd x2. If not possible at least x4. Go in bios and set SATA mode to AHCI. Boot again from dvd using -v and report. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/170027-ipc-1056-final/#findComment-1174417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still get "Waiting for root device" it says some thing before such ast 0.625 USBAHCI...??? or something like that. Does it matter if I have 1 x SATA II 3.5" 1 x SATA II 2.5" HDDs and 1 x IDE DVD/RW drive? This is a screenshot of what i get. After the last line i get Still waiting for root device.
