Xmop Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Hi, I'm trying to install iDeneb 1.6 lite on my EEE Pc, 1005HA, I've been following these guides: http://maceee.blogspot.com/2009/08/install...epc-1005ha.html http://jpmcgarrity.com/blog/index.php/category/osx/ The first time I installed, it went fine, but as I was trying to get different hardware to work, I broke it, so I decided to reinstall. I chose a few different customize options, and when I went to boot the install, it stuck on: [HCIController][configurePM] power parent ready after 1 tries Still waiting for root device Still waiting for root device and the repeated line is repeated every few minutes. I formatted the partition, and tried reinstalling SEVERAL times, with different customize options, including my original one, BUT, every time resulted in this same issue! It's a brand new hard drive (and Windows 7 is on another partition, and I can still boot it once I repair it's boot loader). What could be wrong? Right now my mind is telling me bad sectors on the disk, but I don't think so... Any help is appreciated. Edit: On customize, I choose: ICHx Fixed FireWire Remove GMA950 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/202051-installed-once-success-second-and-on-install-failure/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushabh Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 i donno if this might be of any relevance but i faced the same issue.. i installed kalyway 10.5.1 and it worked but after a failed software update when i tried reinstaling it it wouldnt cross 'about 25mins left'..i kept trying but it showed different errors..(i even formated my hdd to the 32 hard one but it didnt help) therefore i crossed my fingers,downloaded kalyway 10.5.2 and its working.. from what i think it may have stored the installation success somewhere and hence its best if you try a newer version.. also since you say you get the 'Still waiting for root device' error you must try booting without any other hdd attached.. hope it may help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/202051-installed-once-success-second-and-on-install-failure/#findComment-1357998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
