Ioan Catalin Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Okey, good people ! First I am appologise for my bad or not so bad english. Let's go on the topic .. Now I am running Windows XP SP3. I downloaded many versions of OS X and no one works.. Versions are: Iatkos, iDeneb, Hazard, Leopard-AMD-10.5.1.iso, Mac OS X 10.4.8 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2].iso, and another one .. i don't remember the name! I didn't burned the MAC.OSX.SNOW.LEOPARD.V10.6.2-HOTiSO 'cuz i need a double layer DVD . Now i'm downloading Leopard-10.5.2-AMD-EFI-Rev2.iso, and leopard4all_shanu . My big problem is the error: Still waiting for root device >.<. I sow many solve problems on Google: http://www.google.ro/#q=site:http://www.pr...c82c209d7186de9 and I realy, but realy hope that you'll resolve mine . Error: [image temporarily removed] I found some solve problems that says to switch to AHCI . Okey.. Set IDE: [image temporarily removed] And run fine: [image temporarily removed] If i switch to AHCI: [image temporarily removed] and reboot, The DVD and HDD can't be seen any more. [images temporarily removed] I had research and I found that Chameleon or [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] helps.. I found no one tutorials that say how Chameleon works. Can you give me one? I also reed http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=101 and now I know from where he error came. But i still don't know how to solve it! My specs from dxdiag: [image temporarily removed] Also .. I installed the Hazzard version on my father's PC and worked (him's older than mine).

Sn1pest3r Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 i'm guessing, you're...romanian? Asa-i a? Well, i had that same issue too, I have an nforce 630i chipset and that "still waiting for root device" thing got me nightmares, the issue was that i couldn't change SATA mode (which is greyed out on RAID in my bios) to AHCI, so, was a no go, but i solved by buying a high-end external hard disk, now I have OSX up and running flawlessy! i've read that if you switch to AHCI from IDE your HDD and DVD drive won't be recognized anymore? Is it me or you have IDE hdd and IDE DVD drive? If that's true then just drop it, Snow Leo hates IDE. Also, don't forget that you can't just switch to AHCi while you're running windows XP, that could be the issue (if you have SATA), if you switch to AHCI and you decide to let it that way you'll have to reinstall windows. P.S. yes i'm romanian too Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/260861-many-tries/#findComment-1704629 Share on other sites More sharing options...
