alexrose Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 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 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/243762-still-waiting-for-root-device/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
