LoL.Moose Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Hey guys! So I've been running into a problem when trying to boot up into iATKOS S3 v2 (See my system specs in my sig) using the ISO Image I burned onto a DVD. But I keep getting "Still waiting for root device" I even tried booting up using "-v rd=disk0", still no luck. Any idea how to fix this? Probably something to do with AppleNForceATA kext? Thanks!

AndreoPL Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think, you must enable ACHI mode on bios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoL.Moose Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think, you must enable ACHI mode on bios My bios doesn't have that option :/ I pretty much tried every flag and bios setting, even turning off firewire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rrrrrrrrrrr Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 This works (also nForce): I've had a hard time getting past that ''Still waiting for root device''. It seems to be a problem with some AMD chipsets, specifically the 7xx. Almost all the OSX distros I used resulted in the same message. After a lot of time spent getting past that message, I finally bumped into something on the internet. A boot CD called Hack OS X boot, made by a brazilian OSX86 team for use with AMD (and Atom). All you have to do is burn it on a disk and boot into it. You will end up at a bootloader. This is where you swap your Hack OS X boot cd with a Snow Leopard retail (or something like iAtkos, but I don't recommend that as it might produce another problem, namely: getting stuck at PCI configuration begin). Now press F5 to refresh the bootloader and boot the Snow Leopard retail disk. Here the (direct) link to the Bootcd: hackosx.com.br. Good luck!
