michael.su Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I could be wrong but.......I believe the "waiting for root device" is a Hard drive thing....... Use the search feature on the forum, I have read many posts/threads about how to deal with that error.

Gordon Buchanan Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 You're likely to get more help if you state what kind of laptop it is including what CPU and what kind of video it has.

Beerkex'd Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 CPU, video and laptop brand are not relevant. Southbridge make/model is. Type "still waiting for root device" (with the quotes) in the search box above. If the search doesn't work for you, go to google and paste this in the search field: site:insanelymac.com "still waiting for root device" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/218648-cant-ever-got-into-the-setup-please-help-me/#findComment-1470369 Share on other sites More sharing options...
