Metrogirl Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Sounds like a conflict with the ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) and USB on your system. Try "ACPI -x" in the startup options. Also, even if you are using an USB mouse, try unplugging it during boot and plugging it in later. Same goes for any USB devices you have connected. What's your system config - briefly - motherboard, graphics, peripherals? Laptop or desktop? -s- Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3562-stalling-at-boot-up/#findComment-22885 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diodak Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 1 gig DDR SDRAM... folowed shortly by a "Still waiting for root device" You have 1GB in one or two modules? For me that "Still waiting..." message was appearing ONLY if my memory was in DualChannel Mode (2x256MB). I had disabled DualChannel by replacing one of memories with 512MB module (256+512). Now OSX boots everytime I start the computer even with extremelly overclocked memory.

Metrogirl Posted October 22, 2005 Share Posted October 22, 2005 Not sure if this will help, but you could try disconnecting your primary hard drive and booting with just the OSX drive connected (as master or on the master connector on the IDE chain). Depends on how you've installed OSx86 but this sometimes clears 'root device' errors when you have two drives. At least you'll know if the the OSx86 is correctly installed if this works. I'm assuming you're using PATA not SATA drives? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3562-stalling-at-boot-up/#findComment-23587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jblanchard Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 Hey, I'm using an HP zv5000 and was having the same problem (specifically the "still waiting for device" message.) I solved it by installing from a USB DVD drive (found this info by searching through the compatibility lists on the wiki.)
