urbanshadow Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Hi InsanelyMac forums, this is my first post, but I was reading in it for a while. I'm having trouble with iATKOS 10.5.7, JaS 10.4.6 and the recognition of my SATA drives. I have the following configuration: AMD Athlon X2 4600+ Asrock Alive NF6G-VSTA (2.59 BIOS, most recent) Nvidia Nforce 430 (MCP61) Northbridge XFX Nvidia Geforce 8500 GT A SATA 80 GB hard disk, a SATA dvd drive and an IDE 160 GB hard disk Not even the dvd boot it's working. The usual error on verbose mode of dvd load: AppleNForceAta: warning: phy connection failed AppleNForceAta: found 0 units Still waiting root device Several times each. So, InsanelyMac forums, what am I doing wrong? I need a special dvd for me? Also I have the kext's for Sata,Audio,Video and Networking from OSx86 Wiki compatibility page for 10.5.2 Any help would be higly appreciated and thanks in advance. Edit: "Obtaining" Kalyway 10.5.2 as well Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/193619-problems-with-alive-nf6g-vsta/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanshadow Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 EVEN with kalyway 10.5.2 with added kext's for my hardware, it's giving me the same "still waiting for root device". I'm a little angry at this point now with this. All the evening for nothing. At least, it seems like another distribution it's not going to help, and I don't wan't to donwload another anymore, so, I would be very happy if anyone can give me a chance of seeing it... at least booting the dvd (for now, I don't think I will be capable of installing it in any fashion). I added to my signature all my specs. Also my BIOS it's... (being positive) useless. Also, why my hard drives are stopping when AppleNforceATA are looking for them? I can hear them stopping, and starting again after reboot... So, can anyone help me?

urbanshadow Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Here I am, again. Seems like I can bypass the "Still waiting for root device" error with -v rd=disk0s2 And after applenforceata, does kpanic in nfs_boot: panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002D8B62):"nfs_boot_init failed with 6\n"@/volumes/disk1s2/leo_xnu...etc If anyone is reading this, thanks. Also, need help here, please. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/193619-problems-with-alive-nf6g-vsta/#findComment-1308275 Share on other sites More sharing options...
