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.

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.
