himura Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well, first of al thanks for the help given before... Now my specs: Processor: AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile TL-56 Chipset: Xpress 200 (RS480) Southbridge: SB600 1 GB of Ram While i was succesfull at installing mac os on vmware, it just don't work natively showing me the error of waiting for root device.... I tried the option -f but nothing happens... This happens with the OSX_AMD_SSE3 and the JaS AMD Intel SSE2 SSE3... I don't know how to make it work, i've heard that anyone made it using the -f option but... as i said before doesn't work with me... Any help would be apreciated... thanks.

thestevo Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 The -f option makes it so that the operating system does not load any cached kexts. Instead it goes through and loads each kext that it finds in the extension folder as it finds it. That isn't gonna help you for installation. Usually that only helps after the OS has been installed and there is a problem with the ATA controller being recognized by a cached kext. The installer is either not recognizing your ATA controller or is having an error with it. I think that you will have to transfer an image onto a partition (e.g. dd) I would say take your vmware install and image that onto a partition, info for that is in the forum. That might not solve all your problems, but at least that will get you some files on the hard drive to work with.

himura Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 Thanks, but the problem is that there is no solution for my specs... (i mean, the main problem is the sata i got, i wonder if there is a solution, whatever it is... except buying another lap because i got this one from dell very cheap, and in windows the performance is better than i expected) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/38612-mac-os-x-inspiron-1501/#findComment-275831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
