Macomaniack Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Hi Guys I really need your help urgently :S I was following the guide of making Mac OSX Lion and was succesful in making the usb ready. After that i prepared the bootloader ([url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] installer for windows) which works. But then after using many boot flags It always ends up saying "still waiting for root device" (This is before installing lion) which means i cant even start the installer. I am in dismay and really want to install as i have been trying since 5 days with different solutions and i have limited bios options and cant really change sata to ahci etc... And the install image is working fine cause i tried it on my friends pc. Im pretty sure my hardware is compatible cuse i have leopard installed already. Pleaase Help ME I have been trying to hard. My System Specs are: Hp DV6-3140se Intel core i5 Ati Mobility Raedeon HD Bios version F.23 Insyde BTW ASK FOR ANY OTHER INFO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafterman Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Have you tried installing [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] from [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. It was this that fixed that same error msg for me although our hardware specs are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H8TR Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Are using AHCI is BIOS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kokousic Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 This error is frustrating, though I also dont have AHCI (ICH7), I was able to install Lion on A PATA HDD using latest chameleon and updates extra lion.pkg following a guide on this forum.
