Tried several distros but no success :-((

 

Having these problems:

- waiting for root device

- and no mouse and keyboard for installation

 

I found out that the problem is the ATI SB400 chipset which is not included in the distros I have (Kalyway, iDeneb, iATKOS, at last I tried the current iATKOS S3 v2 but same problem "waiting for root device")

 

please help me!!!
