Alec Peters Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Okay, I have an AMD 64 3200+, ATI Radeon 9600 128MB, ASROCK 939DUAL-SATA2 MB with the ULI M1695 and ULI M1567 chipsets, and 1GB of Corsair ValueSelect memory. I have tried multiple versions of OSx86 and they all have the same result. When I first try to boot the DVD I get the error "still waiting for root device". I found I can get around that by typing "rd=disk0s1" as that is my OS X partition, however, it gets past that error, but then won't load past the kernel and if I am not in verbose mode, the screen will become darker and it will say I need to restart the computer. I have tried all of the things I can think of including: disabling Legacy USB, Using diskpart and partition magic to create a primary partition id=af, set active partition, a different graphics card, a different DVD drive, adding "-x" and "platform=ACPI" or "platform=X86PC" to the boot options, a different HD. I have looked all over the forums and havn't found a solution to my problem, or even an idea of what the problem might be so if anybody has any idea what it might be or even better a solution, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/21231-error-booting-for-installation/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Peters Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Anybody have any ideas, or possibly just anything I could try that helped you? I'm very open to trying anything, but I'd really like to get this working one way or another because I've really devoted my system to it and repartitioned and reformatted all of my drives so if this doesn't work, I'll need to reinstall windows and all, which I'd rather not do.
