typhoch2 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Hello, sry for my english, I´m a german. I just downloaded these Release Mac OS X 10.4.9 [JaS AMD-Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1] I had burned the Image on a Dvd and then I boot. But after I pressed enter and the black screen with white font came, it freezed. There only comes the message Still waiting for root device and I cant`t press anything. My System is a Amd 64 3000+ with sse2, a ati x800pro, 1024mb ram and windows xp. whats means these message and is ther something I have to do first, before booting?

Forceman Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 The reason why this happens is that your drives are not setup right for OS X, check the setting for mast/slave and play about with them. It may also be the case that OS X dont support your drive so consider using a IDE instead of SATA. I wish someone would put a sticky about this, it's rather simple why it does this.
