AppleAHCIPort.kext v328 from High Sierra PB1_17A291m.
Info.plist has been edited so Bundle version is 999.1.1 ---> give higher priority loading in kernel cache/pre-linked kernel than v329 from later betas/GM. Need to disable SIP (since editing info.plist invalidates Apple's kext signature).
Install in /Library/Extensions (so doesn't get over-written during updates) repair permissions, rebuild caches eg
sudo chown -R 0:0 /Library/Extensions/AppleAHCIPort.kext && sudo chmod -R 755 /Library/Extensions/AppleAHCIPort.kext
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions && sudo kextcache -u /
Test kext is loadable...
sudo kextutil -tn /Library/Extensions/AppleAHCIPort.kext
Confirm kext is loaded after rebooting the system...
kextstat | grep AHCIPort
To use with a USB installer, the kext needs to be included in the prelinkedkernel. Use PLK.tool attached to post#13 to create a new prelinkedkernel with AppleAHCIPort.kext v328, then replace original prelinkedkernel in the installer - post#16.
Hello
My system is Asus Z170-P Motherboard i5 6600K Processor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4095 MB Be-quiet 500W PSU Crucial 16 GB 2400 MHz DDR4
BIOS:
xHCI Handoff enable Serial Port disable SATA AHCI mode IOAPIC 24-119 Entries (enable y disable) two mode stuck
I can not build a robust and stable system, The system Sierra is already installed but when I restart or shut down, I get the error Still waiting for root device error, but after too many reboot ( from 2 times to 9) start correctly or other times leave too minutes, with prohibited symbol and finally starts. Once started recognised correctly HDD.
Also I tried with a new EVO860 nvme SSD , but I have the same problem.
I dont know because sometimes yes sometimes no, the system stuck in this error
I add some information files and logs.
and other mistake in OperationRegion(PNVA,SystemMemory,PNVB,PNVL)
< Name (PNVB, 0xC74F1018)
> Name(PNVB,0xC7503018)
My system after too many month , keep stable the still waiting error no appear again, it seems that the problem was with the memory addresses in my DSDT.
So i'm trying to install OSX 10.4 Tiger (patched for intel cpus) on a 9 year old laptop, so far i've burnt a DVD and tried to boot from it, when not starting with -v it loads and then a prohibited sign shows up, and when starting with -v it keeps saying "still waiting for root device", i've tried multipile fixes and none of them work, and im sure there isnt a problem with the computer as it also fails to boot on my core 2 duo machine, so is it possible one of you guys knows how to fix this? Thanks in advance!
Salve, sono passato da Yosemite ad El Capitan, dopo aver installato quest'ultimo sul PC in firma con il bootloader chameleon, tutto funziona correttamente: scheda grafica, rete ed audio, usb etc.. tutto ok, l'unico problema è che quando avvio il pc senza la USB di installazione, quindi direttamente da HD dove ho installato El Capitan, dopo diverse righe con AppleUSBEHCIPort@fd300000..... il pc si blocca su : still waiting for root device. Quindi sono costretto ad avviare sempre dalla USB.
Qualcuno può' aiutarmi per piacere?
This topic is to gather all information about "still waiting for root device" in one place.
Few days ago I wrote about running El Capitan on the Skylake rig
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/308576-success-el-capitan-build-15b30a-on-skylake-i7-6700-with-some-bugs/?p=2184344
I passed all information to Pike R. Alpha, so hope he and others find the solution for everybody:
The most intresting thing is some bios option called "IOAPIC 24-119 Entries" which is enabled by default.
You have to disable it to forget about "still waiting for root device" :-)
Why this option is intresting ? it and the other 3 options are not avaible in the newest bios version. I've allready checked all versions and it is avaible in: 0701, 0801, 0902. The newest version 0907 is missing it:
Dumping ACPI gives nothing - the tables look the same with and without that option enable. If someone want to look at it, here it is:
