RSN Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I have an Intel DG35EC mobo with an external Graphics Card NVidia 8860GTS 8GB internal LAN. 4 Sata HDs. I couldnt get the install to work with the same problem. I believe you also are installing from another Leopard existing installation. If this is the case, I solved this problem (waiting for root device) by patching the DSDT with DSDT Patcher GUI and putting the dsdt.aml file in the root folder or extra folder of the new partition/HD depending on your install process. You can add this dsdt file only (I think ) when you install from another Mac Install.
