Hi ^^, I have a chipset VIA, which as I understand is not supported by the normal kernel.

 

I tried installing using a DVD of iAtkos, I tried different versions, none of them worked.

Also I tried with Empire EFI + retail Snow Leopard DVD, and it also didn't worked.

 

The error I was getting was the `Waiting for root device`. I found that may be caused by a master/slave problem with the disk, which I also tested changing switches with no luck.

Here is a picture of a kitten so I can grab your attention.

 

A couple of days ago my fate was restored when I read in this guide: http://prasys.info/2009/08/installing-snow...pard-for-osx86/ that if you have a chipset VIA you get a `Waiting for root device` error.

 

So I searched for a VIA Kext:

And that is what I found, but I have no idea of how to add them to the DVD ISO or DMG from Windows.

 

Any help will be greatly appreciated ;)
