BlueFalcon7 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Ahem, 3 hard drives? Oops, I didnt see that you used VMware. (duh) I believe it involves the disk drive. I'm not sure exactly what you have to do, maybe I can bump this topic, and someone else will see it. Good luck, and sorry.

jnolla Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 This has to do with your drive settings on the motherboard. I had the same problem, and shuffled the SATA cables around until it worked. Also It might be the CD/DVD drive and the jumper settings. After I installed It wouldn't boot unless I connected the DVD burner to the hard drive ATA connection.

Dainix Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Usually, if you wait around for a while, it'll continue to ask for a root device until it eventually gets through. I had this happen when it was scanning IDE devices.
