mrZeno Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hi, I installed Mac OS X 10.4 AMD and Intel (i believe hotiso) 2 times to my computer.After both times it startet once just fine and then it hangs with the massage "AppleGenericPCIATADriver: CMD 0x1f0, CTR 0x3f4, IRQ 14 (next line after a while repeating) still waiting for root device". Under VMWare i can still boot from this HD. Does somebody have a hint for me, what this error message wants to tell me? What i did: first my computer: Motherboard Asus AV8 Via Kt800 lan gigabit onboard sound onboard disabled sound delta audiophile 2496 tv: hauppauge wintv radio (i dont want to use it) HD: Sata 250 gb Samsung DVD: LG The installation worked fine, except on the final restart the system freezed. however after a reset everything seemed to work just fine. During booting there were hundreds of comand lines running down the screen (like Matrix ) of which i couldnt read any, then there were slower ones. I didnt see any error massege and the mac os x startet fine. I rebootet and this error massage came up. I tried it again, but nothing changed, so installed it again (deleted the disk before of course). However excactly the same thing happend again. I booted on my other partition in windows and from there i could start in vmware using the mac os x partition. Does anybody know what i have to do or just knows what this error massage means? Thank you very much!! Sorry i dont get the attachement with the error screen to work, so next try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrZeno Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 According to http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...root_device..22 it is a SATA Problem.
