dinosaws Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) Hello fellow members, I've ran into the issue on an AMD processor that is limiting me from install Hackintosh. Here's the error/issue I am getting - "Still waiting for root device" I know AMD processors aren't ideal, but I am only wanting this for experimental reasons and to learn. I am using a retail disk not a distro and I am using Nawcoms mod CD (burnt at 4kbs on a dual layer disk) I am 100% stuck now and I don't know what to do, I hope some hackintosh fanatics/users would be able to assist me on my problem. Here's my specs - http://gyazo.com/7c3...d3a3b79cb644cf2 Edited November 27, 2012 by eep357 No need to offer any bribes Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284634-installation-problem-waiting-for-root-device-wont-boot-amd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinosaws Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hello, in my bios I went to SATA configuration and it's set to AHCI mode. My HD is also SATA so I am not really sure what information I should be pulling from that website - Also some point in the bootcd loading my retail disc of SL it states 'please updated Bootloader'. I am a newbie when it comes to Hackintosh so I really don't have a clue what I am supposed to do at this point. I've read around and tried most of the fixes others recommend but no luck.. I am still in need of assistance. (also to the moderator/administrator that removed my part about paying, it wasn't so much of a bribe - just a thankful payment) Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284634-installation-problem-waiting-for-root-device-wont-boot-amd/#findComment-1869576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
