sybexs Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I keep on running into a snag during installation. After i install everything and reboot i keep getting this error: "Error:Firewire unable to determine security-mode; defaulting to full-secure. Then it is followed with Still waiting for root device. I formated the drive through disk utility and set it as primary, i also followed the install that is in the other DS4 thread but to no avail mine doesnt work. My setup is: P35-DS4 rev 2 2 x 2 gigs of Crucial XMS sata 320 Seagate hd fat 32 sata 320 seagate dynamic ide 240 WD 2 partitions one for os x86 and winxp ide sony dvd EV3A 320mb 8800GTS OSX86 installed from XxX_OS_x86_10.4.10_Install_Disk_with_PPF1.iso EssentialSystemSoftware Intel.SSE3 kernel + essential.10.4.10.Patches GraphicDrivers -> nVidia.Support -> Natit.Dual.v02 NetworkDrivers -> RealtekR1000.Driver i also tried removing the sata drives during installation my bios is set to IDE wheni set it to ACHI i get com.apple.boot missing. i kept it as ide so i could go back and forth between xp and osx86. Is there something im missing or a kext that im not enabling? please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
