iNiz Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I'm getting Random "Still Waiting for Root Device" errors. My Comp full loads to OSX sometimes and sometimes it just freezes with the "stop sign". Now, one thing I know for sure is that, whenever it loads to OSX fully, the iPC 10.5.6 dvd is inside my DVD-rom drive. And I can always hear it spinning when it boots into OSX. So i'm assuming its loading something (kexts?) from the DVD? From what I have read, "Still waiting for Root Device" corresponds to chipset drivers. Is it loading the "missing" chipset drivers from the CD? I installed the iCH10 Chipset Drivers as I read in my directions when I installed iPC 10.5.6. So i'm confused, how do I prevent this and let it boot into OSX without the CD? My Setup: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.40 Ghz GigaByte GA-EP45-UD3L 500 gb SATA2 on SATA 1 slot DVD-ROM drive (master) on single IDE slot (only one on my mobo) 4 gb ram, ATi Sapphire 2400 PCIE, yadayada.
