"still waiting for root device" during boot usb installer

[Bolzo]

Hi everybody, I'm trying to install Iatkos ML2 in my notebook (acer V3-571G)

 

I made the usb installer from a virtual machine (iatkos ml2 dmg and then Chamaleon), setted up the BIOS (ACHI controller, legacy boot etc)

Anyway, when I boot the usb it's all ok, chamaleon starts, but when I launch iAtkos it hangs at "Still waiting for root device".

 

I emphasize that it crashes when I lounch the USB installer, NOT when I boot the installed system (so, it isn't a problem with the HD controller.. or not?)

 

Obviously I tryed with the basic flags like -v -x -f etc.

 

Can someone help me?

 

(Sorry for my bad english )

It has nothing to do yet with your ahci controller since you are booting off a usb. My suggestion would be for you to try another USB stick

Ok, now I'll try to make it.

 

try UseKernelCache=No  -v 

 

always stuck at the same point

I made another stick with Pandora and a clean OSX ML (no iAtkos etc)

Now it gets a panic, here is a pic.

Obviously I tried -x -f -v ecc

[iFIRE]

install NULCPUPowermanegement.kext to Extra/Extensions or SLE, boot with -f -v

[Bolzo]

Now it don't give panics
but it stucks at "still waiting for root device"

 

I tried USBBusFix=Yes, but nothing change

If your mobo doens't has AHCI mode, you can download this kext and put in S/L/E: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/190449-superviaatakext-for-snow-leopard-marvell-88se6121/
