rahulk70 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Hi everyone, I made a high Sierra installer with clover. I tried booting from the USB installer but it stops at "still waiting for root device" and after a few seconds the prohibited logo appears. Anyone has any idea to fix the issue? Thanks.

Arkanis Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 This is probably either your USB ports or an AHCI problem. Boot in verbose mode and post a screenshot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/327095-still-waiting-for-root-device-while-booting-from-installer/#findComment-2493830 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahulk70 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hi, I'll try today evening on different ports and see if it fixes the issue. I've changed the SATA mode from RAID to AHCI.

rahulk70 Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Ok I tried just now. Still no luck tried adding Rehabman's USBInject kext to Clover/kexts/others. Can't seem to fix with the kext also since it worked for me in El Capitan and Sierra. I even tried adding the current AHCIPort.kext and injector, IOAHCI.kext to 10.13 installer from my current MacIntosh HD(Sierra), that didn't work either Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/327095-still-waiting-for-root-device-while-booting-from-installer/#findComment-2494405 Share on other sites More sharing options...
