Getting "Still waiting for root device" after installation.

[Redhoodzy]

Hi, need some help with this one, its a bit tricky.

I have installed Mac OSx Snow Leopard and updated it to 10.6.4. (update has nothing to do with the problem)

 

So i have disconnected all drives except the MacOSx drive which is called "disk0s2".

My "disk0s2" has a jumper so its set as MASTER

 

I have latest "myHack 1.1" installed.

 

When i boot up i am getting "Still waiting for root device" even though I have entered in "com.apple.boot.plist " and modified so it looks like the following below:

 

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>rd=disk0s2</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>10</string>

 

Still getting the same error.

 

I also have tested some different thing in BIOS which not was necessary when I installed at all so dont see the importans in it, i tested it and get the same error.

If you are talking about your nForce 650i chipset MOBO system, then you have to use AppleNForceATA.kext in /Extra/Extensions/ but you need to then boot in 32bit mode by including arch=i386 under Kernel Flags in your com.apple.Boot.plist..........

Yes thats it. I have now added the "AppleNForceATA.kext" in "/Extra/Extensions/"

Now my com.apple.Boot.plist looks like this:

<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>rd=disk0s2</string>
<string>arch=i386</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>10</string>

 

Still getting the error.

Hi guys.

 

Does nobody knows how to do it now when I actually made in every possible way.

What bothers me is that this happens after I have installed and does not work until i reboot with my empireEFI BootCD.

 

I can not just guess the around, will end with that I may do a reinstall, but what does that help me the

problem i still there.

 

So please help me, if none of what you have written works then there must be another solution.

 

Thanks // Hate to bump.
