Goron Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Hi there, Hardware is: Pentium D 805, Asus P5VDC-X, Winfast 7600GT PCI-E, 1GB Ram, 80GB IDE. Sound and S-ATA not testet yet. USB works smooth out of the box, Network is stuck yet (RTL8201 onboard device), will take a look at it after solving the primary Problem: Installed from 10.4.8. Intel SSE3 Reseed. After installation completet, Natit installer and repaired Disk permissions (no files were repaired). Rebootet et voila! It recognizes my NVidia with full QE/CI Support Now, rebooting the system a second time, i get a "still waiting for boot device" Error. What´s my fault? Is there something missing?????

Goron Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Tried some more: Rebooting the System without having made changes, e.g. installing USB, Network, or something else und repairing disk permissions afterwards causes this waiting for boot device for me Can so help?

Clonk Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Currently booting without '-f' gives me the 'waiting for root device' error, too. With '-f' all is good. I have no idea yet what the culprit is, but maybe worth a try to boot with '-f'.

Goron Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 -f ??? What´s the meaning of that? Haven´t heard of this switch yet, but i´ll give it a try. Btw. HD is working on IDE-2 as Master. Everything works fine unless I reboot without having made changes to the system. I´ll test it on IDE-0 tonight, might be a solution too, i´ll report tomorrow ...

'-f' clears the extension cache, similar to removing Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext. Booting will take a few seconds longer, but better than no boot at all Maybe there is a better explanation somewhere on the forum, I just found it by trying out. And changing to ide 0 might also help. Good luck. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/33791-almost-done/#findComment-240461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 K, thx ... report follows. Btw. is there a way to edit the startup parameters, so OS boots with -v -f whatever automatically? I have something in mind about editing a bootlist.p (?????), but not sure about that.
