Marclh Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 This means it cannot find your hard drive. (Still waiting for root device in verbose boot mode) Reinstalling from your OS X disc is the easiest solution, unless you have a Windows drive or partition that is working right now, then you can just find a kext on this site for your motherboard and install it onto your OS X drive using MacDrive. To help you, what is your motherboard model or the model number of the computer if it is from a manufacturer ie. Dell, HP, Gateway etc...

Beerkex'd Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 If the board has the intel ICH5 southbridge: SATA must be set to AHCI mode in the BIOS if you are using a SATA drive. If you're using a PATA drive IIRC you need pick a patched version of AppleIntelPIIATA.kext under 'customize'. If it has a VIA southbridge you need to install VIA chipset drivers. If it has an nForce southbridge, you need to install nForce chipset drivers. And so on. Try different BIOS settings for the drive controller. Look up the specs on the motherboard manufacturer's website or in your motherboard manual. If you have Windows installed, you can also look it up in the Device Manager.

Beerkex'd Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Do you have full video acceleration? Open System Profiler, click Graphics, Core Image and Quartz extreme should read "Hardware Accelerated" and "supported". If not, there's a problem with your video drivers. Try unplugging your mouse before booting, then plug it in once it's done. Apparently slow USB devices can prevent proper initialization of the USB bus on some installations. Try booting with no USB devices attached at all. Plug them in one by one. You get the idea.

Beerkex'd Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You need to find someone who has the same motherboard chipset as you and see what they've done to fix it. I don't know anything about VIA chipsets and I've never seen that error before. Try typing the error into google or the search box up top and see what you can come up with. You can try Slice's patched USB kexts but I don't know if they will work on your motherboard. Type Slice USB 2.0 in the search to find the thread.

Redsox34 Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 ok thanks i was looking at that but how do you install the kexts? if im not able to get past the Welcome screen. to get to terminal. i need some help please Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180371-install-mac-os-but-problem/#findComment-1233087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vilpostus Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Hi! You must have the kexts one is going to install on a separate media (USB Flash or something). Name the media the name you could easily remember and type if required. Boot from the Install DVD (the disk you've been installing OS X from). Chose Terminal from Utilities menu. Now comes the difficult part type cp -R /Volumes/usbdiskname/NameOfTheKext.kext /Volumes/NameOfTheDiskOSXisInstalledTo/System/Library/Extensions/ Now open Disk Utility and repair permissions. The end. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/180371-install-mac-os-but-problem/#findComment-1233130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Now open Disk Utility and repair permissions. Or stay in terminal rm -r -v /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/com.apple.kext.info rm -r -v /System/Library/Extensions.mkext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions chmod -R go=u-w /System/Library/Extensions touch /System/Library/Extensions/ Also, if a kext already has the correct permissions set on it, copying it with cp -pR will maintain them.
