zeeduckieez Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 When I boot to my OSX partition, and choose OSX on the Darwin bootloader, it starts loading and then stops at "still waiting for root device". My HDD is set as primary master. Are there any solutions? Do USB mice interfere? Thanks for the help, I'm soo close XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Right before you clicked the "Install" button, you should have clicked the "Customize" button and selected packages to install for your computer. They are revealed by clicking the little arrrows in front of the categories. If you failed to do this, plan on a reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeduckieez Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hmm, I selected all the necessary patches for my AMD system, maybe I should reinstall with SSE2 enabled instead of SSE3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyDavidK Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 try setting the jumper to hard master, rather than cable select. Set the cd drive hard slave as well if it's also on primary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeduckieez Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Ill try that later on. Maybe my hardware has something to do with it?

WillyDavidK Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 well just fyi the error means that darwin can't find the device with os x on it. I had this problem when trying to load the install dvd, but it was finally solved by setting the jumper to master on the drive I was reading it from. How are your 2 optical drives and hard drive configured? Is there anything plugged into the primary slave? More likely than not, you just need to play around with your jumper settings until you get the right combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeeduckieez Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 Actually, I have nothing as primary slave, the CD/DVD drive are on Secondary primary/slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyDavidK Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 well first try setting everything hard with the jumpers if they are all on cable select. Then try putting the drive you're loading from on primary slave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
