xmariox Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Hi, I posted this at tony's forum too but they nazied my post Basicaly I'm desperate after a month of trial and no success and I'm willing to donate generously to anyone. i7-4790k ASUS Z97-PRO(wifi+ac), swapped the onboard wifi card with an apple branded one that also has bluetooth\ GT740 512GB SSD connected 1 DDR3 8GB connected Tried 10.11, 10.10, 10.10.5 via various methods. atm I'm on a 10.10.5 built manually with tony's clover cause it's the only thing that got me this far... (with default clover it wouldn't even boot, it would only show +++++++++++++ on my screen and that's all folks) so here I am atm stuck at still waiting for root device. I have tried disabling on board wifi, adding xhci kext, disabling asmedia usb3.0 switching the usb port, tried numerous boot args no luck my friends help me and cash some easy money thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/309169-idesperate-still-waiting-for-root-device/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

gengik84 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 I have the same motherboard.
