trex-7 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Hi OSX86ers, I'v been trying to get this to work for about 2 weeks now, and can't get passed a 'still waiting for root device' error. I've tried Uphuck 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, and now I just tried 1.4r2. I get the same thing on all of them. This is what happens - It seems to load initially, but then the dvd drive stops, and that's it - I get the error. I've tried various boot options like -s -x -f and even tried messing with different rd=disk0s... numbers. I've attached 2 pics of my screen when this happens and I'd really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction. ** Sorry about the 2mb file size, but I wanted to make sure it could be read** My guess is that OSX can't find the DVD drive, but what I don't understand is why it works and loads fine upto the error - I'm curious to know if someone cares to explain it to me. Thanks for your time, Trex-7.

AlexeySob Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Allsop, did you try FireWire? Does it work? BTW, what's NIC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
