Hi

UPDATE!

The old problem diappeared, instead of a new one:

 

Still waiting for root device

 

I have 2 HDs: a SATA and an IDE. MAC is installed on the IDE one which has been set to ACTIVE.

 

I chose kernel 9.2.2, audio driver, and network driver while installing.

 

I have no idea that what leads to this issue.

Any one could please help me on that.

 

thanks.

*****************************************

I have a PC with Asus P6T Deluxe V2 with Following stuff:

-- i7 920

-- 6GB DDR3

-- Gefore GTX260+ * 2

 

I installed iDeneb 1.4 10.5.6 successfully. But when I reboot my box after installing, it was blocked at:

MAC Framework successfully initialized.

using 16384 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers

 

I chose kernel 9.2.2, audio driver, and network driver while installing.

Install with ACPI Fix.

Hi folks, I'm having the same "waiting for root device" problem.

 

I'm installing iPC OS_x86 10.5.6 on a:

Sony Viao PCG 9D6L

Pentium 4

256MB RAM

 

I have selected Kernel voodoo (which solved the problem of constantly rebooting during startup. I guess required because P4 is SSE2?)

I have selected ACPI fix (which solved the IO buffer headers problem also mentioned above)

 

Now I'm stuck on "Still waiting for root device"

 

I've seen suggestions of copying /Volumes/InstallDVD/.../Extensions/*ATA* to the hard disk manually (this was for some leo4all based distro I guess?) but the iPC DVD doesn't have a Extensions directory containing *ATA* files. Just some binary files called Extensions.kext.

 

I've also seen suggestions of trying rd=disk0, rd=disk2, rd=diskn until it finds your disk. Tried these for disks 0, 1, 2 (I only have 1 disk) and that didn't help.

 

Any help or suggesitons are really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Please make it clear if gonna get some help.

 

Are you get the error "still waiting for root device" when boot from DVD or when boot from HDD after a comlete install???

 

I got the error whenboot from HDD after a complete install.

 

My chipset is X58/ICH10, and I installed iDeneb 1.4 MAC OS X 10.5.6.

How to get the correct driver for my chipset?

 

thanks.

OK. Boot againg from dvd.

Continue untill the "Install Summary" screen appears.

Now click Customize.

As the base system has been already installed, it will be 0kb, but unselect it for safe.

Leave the Lang. unselected.

Select your chipset under drivers>chipset
