beermacht Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 to answer you "expert" question - don't know - never seen one of them (kiddin) so - what about using the search function to find out more about your vaio ??? (if the search enginge didn't like you - use google with a string like that: site:insanelymac.com CR220E i never used the "universal" stuff - didn't wirk most of the times - it's better to get the original dvd, modify it and install the snow kitty - thats what i did with my 2 netbooks best way to start the project is: make a list with your hardware and the "solution" (kexts..) to get the job done - when you have all your components listed with the possible solution - collect the stuff and make your own "distro" - if you did it right, it will work - if not - try harder Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209329-help-snowosx-36-universal-installation-on-sony-vaio/#findComment-1398905 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huzi A Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 When you go into the boot options (F8) type in -v -x -F If it says still waiting for root device then you don't have RAID activated.
