Hallaathrad Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hello guys, I've wandered all through the internet with no useful nor exact answer. The problem with the laptop is the forbidden sign that appears whenever I try to boot from the jas dvd (which I used to install osx on this very desktop computer I'm writing you people from) Can anyone please instruct me how to proceed? on verbose mode it tells me he's looking for root, won't boot to single nor safe mode.

Danyel Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Hi Hallathrad: I'm not familiar with the "forbidden sign" that you are talking about. Can you elaborate on what the the sign is? --danyel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66516-forbidden-sign/#findComment-471642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_muad_dib Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 always but with the -v flag and report the error, first thank you Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66516-forbidden-sign/#findComment-471644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallaathrad Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 Well, it's the almighty unsolved "still waiting for root device" message. As stated before, It's a laptop (which apparently some people have made it work), namely acer travelmate 2440 Both hdd and dvd-rom are IDE... first master, second slave, same bus. not rearrangeable. ACPI capable. ATI Radeon xpress 200m, and can't turn off usb legacy (if it's even active, which I dunno) due to incompetent bios development. Thus: SATA problem discarded. Dunno what I should be looking for, but I really want to get away with this one. please help?

That's what I'm going to try in a few minutes Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66516-forbidden-sign/#findComment-508407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
