lovelyzoo Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I'm trying to boot off of a USB flash drive using Mald0ns guide. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=256729 When I do so the boot halts at "rooting via boot-uuid from /chosen: <the UUID of the flash drive>" From path: "uuid", Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProviderClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</string><key> IOResourceMatch</key><string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict> and then "Still waiting for root device" repeatedly. Have done some browsing on the forums I've tried explicitly setting "rd=disk0s2" Adding the entry <key>SMUUID</key> to smbios.plist disabling legacy usb Does anyone have any further suggestions?

lovelyzoo Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Other things I've tried tonight: adding USBBusFix=Yes entry to org.chameleon.boot.plist Installing the 10.7.1 version of AppleLSIFusionMPT.kext setting rd=uuid boot-uuid=<My UUID> in the kernel flags. adding 2065-iousbfamily.kext from osx86.net to my Extras/Extensions folder adding uuid.kext from here: http://www.nawcom.com/osx86/Downloads/ Any more ideas anyone?

nyolc8 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 If your pc overclocked, set it to default. I'm getting the same exact message if I overclock my pc too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyzoo Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thanks but my machine is not overclocked. I think that this message is symptomatic of a number of underlying causes. *Edit* I also tried setting PCIRootUID=0 in the kernelflags this evening. Does anyone have any further suggestions? If not can anyone explain the message to me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelyzoo Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 I've resolved this by removing the USB key from the USB 3.0 port and inserting it into one of the machine's USB 2.0 ports. I then encounter a backtrace preceded by the "No HPETs available.." message which you can get around by installing HPETDevice.kext into Extras/Extensions *Edit* BTW, I've backed out every other fix described in this thread. So, it really was swapping ports that did the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
