Spec: Core2Duo T5870, 3GB Ram, 250 Hitachi Sata HDD, GMA x3100 when I try to boot with the installation DVD I got the kernel panic: nfs_boot_init. My SATA HDD controller is set to AHCI.

malir Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 YaHoo Thanks for your reply. I format 30 GB from my 250 clean HDD (ntfs) and try to boot from DVD but got the past error. But I used the rd=disk0s2 boot and went to the next level. In next level I got this error : Still waiting for root device!! Please help. Thanks in advance.

vilpostus Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 What do you mean "the next level"? You got it installed and get "still waiting..." error upon booting? If yes, try installing this http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=88335 kext. Make sure that AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext inside it, has Device/Vendor ID of the on-board disk controller. Use an Install DVD and a FAT formatted USB flash drive to install the kext.

malir Posted October 30, 2009 Author Share Posted October 30, 2009 YaHoo Dear Das_Human, I come back to the first post. I use iPC 10.5.6 MacOSX PPF5 DVD and when boot with DVD, got kernel panic with "nfs_boot_init" message and I never saw the installer!! Please help me, I suggest the installer doesn't know my sata controller. What do I do?
