iFIRE Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 put in USB/Extra/Extensions and use this boot flag: -f -v GraphicsEnabler=No npci=ox2000 5. IMPORTANT: Set “SATA RAID/AHCI Mode” to “AHCI” 6. Go back (ESC), go to Power Management 7. Set the ACPI Suspend Type to S3(STR) 8. Set HPET Mode to 64-bit mode 9. Save and Exit, by pressing F10 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/282324-samsung-series-9-problem-to-install-still-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-1848451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
