Hey guys, yesterday, i installed SL on my SATA drive to boot it with Chameleon.

First boot in verbose gave me a Still Waiting For Root Device. So i tried to boot in 32 bits (with -x32), then i obtain a Kernel Panic. I looked in my Bios (I'm using a Asus P5K SE/EPU) but i can't activate the AHCI, there is no option for it. I tried to put Sata Configuration in Compatible, it doesn't work again.

Does anyone have an idea for my problem ?

Thanks and sorry for the english (i'm french :))

Yes, you should use the kext from here Intel ATA support for Snow Leopard

 

Thanks for your answer, but I still have a KP in 32 Bits and a Still Waiting in 64.

What I've done is to put the kext in de AdditionalExtension of the Extra folder, to rebuild the Extensions.mkext and to reboot.

Whare's the problem ?

Same here.

On P5K-SE/EPU, Still Waiting For Root Device...

 

 

Same for me on a P5K.

I found a tip on the asus forum.

The Intel ATA support for Snow Leopard doesn't work for me. I've also tried to use PlatformUUID.kext and it is still the same.

 

I uploaded a picture of my issue. Is it the same for you ?!

 

Please need some help, how can i boot SL on my P5K.

 

(I bought the retail DVD 29euros and received it but i can't use it..)

this is not a KP

If you look the picture, you will see that SL is waiting for boot volume with uuid ............

After he says that he is waiting on <dict.......>

and Jmicron is loading

And finally --> still waiting for root device

 

It means that SL cannot find the path to load the system i think....

And do not forget to add you sata device(s) id(s) in plist of Netkas driver (if you have ich9) and it works without KP... for ich9 work just first 2 ports

 

Try this one: AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext.zip

Hi,

 

I think I'm having pretty much the same problem. When trying to boot in 32bit mode, I always get an "unknown" KP once the kexts are loaded. The last line before the panic contains "mig_table_max_displ = 73". And there's no AHCI option in my BIOS.

 

And do not forget to add you sata device(s) id(s) in plist of Netkas driver (if you have ich9) and it works without KP...

Could you tell us how exactly to do that? Where do I find these SATA device IDs?

I think so. that was my problem too.

It should be "Got boot device.." if boot-uuid device found.

then I added my SATA/IDE DevIDs to info.plist Netkas's AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext. Solved.

 

If your SATA/IDE controller DevIDs already there, try another thing..

Go to BIOS Setup and set "SATA Configuration = Enhanced, S-ATA" or try other settings.

It doesnt work for me ... :s

but something have changed before the still waiting for root device,

now i dont see the "Waiting for boot volume with uuid ........... line

I only see the waiting on <dict ID=0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOService</string ID=2>disk1s2</string></dict>

 

I don't understand why i stilll have this message

--> Still waiting for root device :/
