Iceman Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hi all, i bought this ultrabook on august and i would like to install Mountain Lion on it. Specifications: i5 3315u 4GB ram 32gb SSD + 320GB SATA Intel Graphics HD4000 I have "the classic" Mountain Lion 8GB pen "prepared" to boot on hackintosh, but i got Still Waiting for Root Device. Tried all combination, nothing changes. Tried to boot with PCIRootUID=1 (or 0), npci=0x2000, -x -v, GraphicsEnabler=yes (or no) Can't get Installation to start Any ideas? Thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283711-sony-vaio-svt1311v2es/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Try this, put it in System/Library/Extensions and include -f with any other boot flags AHCI_Extended_Injector.kext.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283711-sony-vaio-svt1311v2es/#findComment-1861874 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Any news? Is there a solution? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283711-sony-vaio-svt1311v2es/#findComment-1862302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eep357 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Sorry, USB drive access is actually problem at this point. 2 things you can try: USBBusFix=Yes When you are at chameleon boot menu, unplug and replug your usb, or move it to different usb port, wait a couple seconds and hit F5 to refresh, choose installer and continue booting Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283711-sony-vaio-svt1311v2es/#findComment-1862336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Nothing changes... i got "unable to obtain ownership" and "UIMInitialize - Error occurred" on USBF lines...

eep357 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 check bios usb settings, usb3 disable, legacy mode, ehci handoff, etc. and try other ports can also try selecting root manually, at boot prompt type rd=hd(0,2) first number is the disk# and 2nd is partition#. It should be 0,2 but can try other disk #'s and partitions too Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283711-sony-vaio-svt1311v2es/#findComment-1862405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 There are no options on this fuxxing sony bios! Anyway, i don't know what concern change boot prompt type... i am able to boot, the problem is that kexts does not load disks... but, if "-f" is able to scan all kext, i suppose it's absolutely not a boot related problem.

eep357 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 what? You said you could not get to the installation to install OSX and that -f didn't help, and that you were using a USB stick which would get stuck at "still waiting for root device", is this not the case?

Iceman Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yes, but "still waiting for root device", come over the kext scan... if USB device would not be visible, it should not read kext by kext on "-x" option... Still waiting for root device come AFTER boot... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/283711-sony-vaio-svt1311v2es/#findComment-1863051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 I switched my Sony to a Samsung NP900X4C. Even with Ivy Bridge, i7. Same problem. Tried all possible kext, always get Still Waiting for root device, even changing bios settings. No way to see an Ivy Bridge booting Lion or Mountain Lion Installation!!
