NOw...I downloaded this iso "JaS 10.4.8 AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2.iso"...i tried to install it in native mode...but it says to me... STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE

 

so..

 

I installed it via vmware on the real partition...and all works fine...osx loads in vmware and i configured the dual boot...

 

But..

 

When i boot up in native mode it says always.. STILL WAITING FOR ROOT DEVICE

 

ok..

 

I tryed to reboot on winxp..start osx in vmware..and installed this patch for ICH8 http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...42317&st=40

Is there any other user with Dell Dimension E520 with same hw configuration that can run osx?

Sorry again for my bad english

 

Thank you
