nfshp253 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Hello, I am trying to boot up the iso attached to install Snow Leopard in VMware Workstation 7 BETA on XP Professional SP3. The procedure is to boot up the boot disc that I've downloaded from the link below, then change to the Snow Leopard disc, then press F5 and run the Snow Leopard disc (Snow Leopard discs will not run themselves (not bootable)). The disk boots but stops with the last few lines being: USBF: 3.786 AppleUSBOHCI[0xffffff800410e000]::CheckSleepCapability - controller will be unloaded across sleep Still waiting for root device Still waiting for root device The installer never starts. I've tried the same boot disk with other versions of the Snow Leopard disc but all stop at the same error. I've spent some time searching for the reason and found that in most cases it has something to do with the configuration of the Primary Master and Primary Slave device in BIOS. Please help me get this working.
