Puchito Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Hey people. Let me explain first. I installed Jas 10.4.7 on VMWare just fine. Got Dual boot to work just fine. Everything was perfect, my universe was at peace. Anyway, on native boot, (as in not on VMWare) it just refuses to start. I get the "still waiting for root device" error. Before you start posting: 1.- I have a SATA harddrive 2.- Nforce 4 chipset 3.- installed the correct AMD patches, no INTEL's for me. 4.- My drive IS set to primary master 5.- my drive C: has windows with chain0, and is obviously the primary active partition. OSX is a logical partition (so there souldn't be any problems there, right?) Anyway, let's hear your thoughts on this one. I'm POSITIVE I'm not the first, or the last person to get this one. hehe.

U.C. Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 nf4 sata to my knowledge is not supported. Adding dev'ids to the kexts does not work and causes data corruption Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/28076-still-waiting-for-boot-blah-blah-blah/#findComment-191839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puchito Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 that's weird. I saw (and installed) a Patch for Via/Nforce on the customize tab before install. Weird thing is that I can native boot in safe mode (but then I can't get my keyboard or mouse to work, go figure).
