Toucanet Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have just installed Mavericks with My Hack and generic Extra & Extensions. At the boot from the disk I got "Still waiting for root device", even with AHCIEXTENDEDINJECTOR.KEXT ( which I have added with the terminal of the mavericks installation And i have also repaired permissions). The AHCIEXTENDEDINJECTOR.kext worked perfectly with lion, (Without it I have had the same error, still waiting). I have no AHCI mode on BIOS, only ATA And RAID, And my PC is the Dell on sign. Why the kext worked with Lion and not with Mavericks? How can I solve this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toucanet Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 I have added AHCIEXTENDEDINJECTOR which is an extended version of AHCIPORTINJECTOR.KEXT and this didn't solve the problem with Mavericks (but did with lion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toucanet Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 So not /system/library/extension? Do I have to create the folder estensions in extra? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 if you have the system installed put to S/L/E or create a folder Extensions in Extra from your USBInstaller Edit: use this flag too, can help with it: UseKernelCache=No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameris_cyning Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 You might not have a choice but to always boot with -f My audio card, for example, cannot boot with caches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucanet Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 With Mountain Lion it worked without that flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFIRE Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 try boot only with -v , if this stop, post a photo, you have repaired permissions with Kext Wizard app and reboot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toucanet Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 It works even without -f. Don't know why. Thanks! Do these kext I placed to solve still waiting for root device problem create some problems like kernel panics or instability in the system? AHCI_3rdParty_SATA AHCI_Extended_Injector AHCIPortInjector GenericUSBXHCI IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector LegacyAppleAHCIPort Do you advice me try to remove some of these? I think that only 1 kext solved the problem, and so I need only 1 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
