Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H "still waiting for root device"

Hello dudes!

 

I recently bought a 3770K and a Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H.

 

I create a USB Stick using Uni.Beast, but I wan't able to boot from it.

That is actully my fault, cause I did not use 10.7.3.

 

Afterwards, I created another version using the .dmg of 10.7.3 (yes, I legally bought 10.7.3, but my internet connection is pretty slow (1mbit), so I can't download the required .app file simple as that.)

The tutorial I used is this

 

But I did not use the files provided, instead I used the "Extra" folder from the most recent Uni.Beast and installed Chimera on the stick, since the Chameleon Buildbot is currently offline.

 

Sadly, I still can't boot from the stick into the installer, I keep getting "still waiting on root device" - no matter where I plug in the USB Stick (front or back, USB 2.0 or 3.0), no matter which boot paramterers...

 

And yes, I even installed Bridge Helper on the stick...

 

Do you guys have any idea what could be the problem?

Is it the connected SSD?

 

Oh, and AHCI is activated

Or any misconfiguration in the BIOS? (BIOS F5, even tried with "Optimized Defaults")

 

Greets,

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english, I am from germany^^

u need modified kernel to boot hence there is no native ivybridge support (get modified mach_kernel and istall it to boot succefully)

I even installed Bridge Helper on the stick...

try to reinstall it

(BIOS F5, even tried with "Optimized Defaults")

u must use optimized defaults

no matter where I plug in the USB Stick (front or back, USB 2.0 or 3.0)

it must be usb 3.0

if it doesnt help then make new usb stick using un1b3ast, install mach_kernel on it then boot (remember to put lion app in applications folder b4 running un1b3ast)

As I already said, I tried booting with Bridge Helper, but it did not work oO

 

Okay, I will reset my BIOS again.

 

Okay, I will try using 3.0, thanks so far :)

 

And I will download the regular installer from the App Store, so I can create a proper Uni.Beast stick
