sevenlayercookie Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I'm trying to install iPC OSx86 Universal 10.5.6 on my system, but I get a "waiting for root device..." immediately after boot option selection. I suspect that because my system has SATA support (though I'm using an IDE hard drive and IDE dvd drive) that the installer is loading a SATA driver and therefore not reading my IDE DVD drive. Is this possible? Boot options: "-v maxmem=2048 busratio=155 cpus=1 busratiopath=0 fsb=200000000" I've tried specifying the DVD drive with 'rd=disk111s0' but it has no effect. Line containing AppleVIAATADriver: "AppleVIAATADriver: VIA 8237 SATA" My system: Processor: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Processor Motherboard: A780GMH/128M NB: AMD 780G SB: ATI SB750 Memory: 4096 MB DDR2 Hard drive: IC35L120AVV207-1 (IDE) DVD Drive: GH22NP20 (IDE) Jumper Settings: (Only one IDE connector) I've tried DVD as master and hard drive as slave and vice-versa. No luck. I haven't modified anything on the disc, I just downloaded the image and burned it. I've also used this CD to install to another PC, so I think the copy is fine. Thanks!
