Golden-boy Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hello, A while back I tried installing Mac OSX on my PC (DFI Nforce4 Landpart SLI-DR, GF7800, 250GB SATAII, AMD 3700+ etc) With succes, but only when I used a IDE HD. But the problem is, my IDE HD is a old 5200 rpm slow and noise one. There are allot of systems working with this spec/mobo+SATA so it should work, I can just install it fine, insert my DVD, boot install and done. But it just doenst seem to boot in Mac OSX using the SATA drive. I tried using those SATA KEXT a while back which didnt fix anything, I am using a pre patched DVD Pff 1 + 2 10.4.8. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55467-still-waiting-for-root-device-error-after-install/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden-boy Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 When I boot from DVD in -v it loads the VIA SATA.kext and detects my WD, but after the install it loads the Nforce.kext and doesnt find my WD HD. So how do I make it load the VIA Kext instead? As it seems to work with that one.

lord_muad_dib Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 do not use that kext, it will corrupt the filesystem, use medevil kext instead Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55467-still-waiting-for-root-device-error-after-install/#findComment-397318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
