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?

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).

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.
