thestevo Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 SATA and 'Still waiting for root device' has been discussed often on the forum. The installation DVD does not support your SATA controller. That doesn't mean that we haven't got it working with OS X, just the installation DVD. First you have to research your motherboard and see if SATA is supported at all. If yes, then you are luck. Now there are two options. Put in a PATA drive, install on that, and clone it over. See if someone has released a PPF patch for your chipset. There is always hope, I had that situation. If you don't find anything specifically about your motherboard, then find the controller chipset and look that up. If you don't find anything there... then you may be out of luck for now.

Bruce Wang Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 It's been reported Gigabyte 965P-DQ6 can install OS X successfully and I am about to try as well. You can try below method since 965P-DQ6 is similar to 965P-DS3. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=28439 Bruce Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/43215-does-anyone-know-why/#findComment-310010 Share on other sites More sharing options...
