Still waiting for root device

Hello,

I have a weird problem, and I say weird because, before being taken into service, everything was fine. I could install any version of mac on my notebook, without problems(and without video drivers - but that's not a very big problem).

Now, after my notebook is out from service(they changed the video cable and my dvd rw), I can't install mac on my pc. It keeps getting me that error: "still waiting for root device".

I tried dozen of versions: hazard, iatkos, kalway, ideneb, ipc etc but no luck.

 

 

Mentions:

- My notebook specs are in signature.

- Changing bios settings, it's not really an option for me(BIOS is fairly limited)

- i tried to boot with: -x -v; -f -v; cpus=1 -v; platform=ACPI -v (no luck)

- photo uploaded with error

Try this boot flag: -f -x -v cpus=1 rd=disk0s2
