liquidsnaske Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'm getting a classice "still waiting for root device" error with the Iaktos V7. Kallway 10.5.2 installs but the initial setup restarts after asking if i wish to transfer any information, and Idenebl 1.5 kernel panics when i start the installation disc. Been at this 3 days now and still scratching my head but decided that the root device error would probably be the easiest to fix. Any suggestions? System info: CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 9400 Motherboard: Dell Inc. 0TP406 Chipset: Intel X38 Southbridge: Intel 82801IR Dvd drive: Sata Hard drive: Sata (no raid) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/176563-still-waiting-for-root-device-dell-xps-420/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
