I have the message "Still waiting for root device" My bios setup : Execute Disable Bit : Enabled AHCI mode control: Manual, set AHCI Mode = Enabled Secure Boot: Disable, OS Mode Selection: CSM OS I have tried some boot flag (-v, -x, -f) Without -x, i have a kernel panic I tried some combinaisons with PCIRootUID, npci 0x2000 0x3000, graphicsEnabler... I tried delete extension in E/E, but always the same mesage "Still waiting for root device". The same message is present with all sytems I tested : #####, myhack, iaktos...

danathor2 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Thanks to reply. I have add this kext in E/E. No more "Still waiting", but block on "IOBluetoothHCIController start -- completed". And before, 10 lines of "Refusing new kext comp...IOPCIFamily : A loaded with a different executable UUID is already present." And when I replace IOPCIFamily.kext to yours kext in system/library/E, i return to the "still waiting" message. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danathor2 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hm. I tried only MBR, i'm going to try GUID. My BIOS settings : Boot with UEFI can change anything ? thank you for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danathor2 Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 No change with GUID... I don't know how I spent the step of "still waiting" to this : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=532177IMG20130922153144.jpg This was when i have add your kext in E/E. I try to do it again, but i have only "Still waiting..." I think this is very random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(with a 60kb/s bandwidth...) I never boot in uefi, I'll search wich Clover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danathor2 Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Okay, it's much better! I boot only in safe mode but i can install mac os. (And i have deleted all video kexts to avoid a black screen...). I can boot on mountain lion installed, in safe mode only again... (800x600, no touch pad, no sounds, no battery indicator...) My screen without safe mode : (And how can i add some flag option with clover ?) Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danathor2 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Share Posted September 25, 2013 Update. After some tests, i can't boot without -x. With all video kexts : black screen during boot, with or without "-x" Without video kexts : screen freeze (see capture above), OK with "-x" Without "-x", i'm flood by many "SMC ERROR" lines. It's important ? With -x, I boot in 800x600 with chameleon, and i boot in native resolution with clover (but graphics are laggy). I have read many threads on hd4000, but no results. I don't know what can i do. Work to boot the installer without safe mode or work in post installation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
