Lord_Jeremy Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 {censored}. If you've got AHCI mode on and you're still getting "still waiting for root device" then you've probably got a SATA or IDE bus that OS X just doesn't like. You can google "still waiting for root device" and look for alternate solutions. I used to have that problem, but I managed to solve it by taking out my IDE optical drive and replacing it with a SATA one.

kzez1986 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 I have no possibility to change my DVD. Is it possible to prepare bootable USB flash drive without Mac OS installed (on Windows or Linux)? I read tutorial, but only for installed Mac OS X.
