Still waiting for root device..

[dionysio]

with gigabyte ga-p35-ds3 and _maybe_ with any other mobo sporting ich9 (NOT raid) you have to have the disk and the cdrom (both sata) on the same channel (like say device0 your disk and device1 your dvd) and ofcouse configured as AHCI

I had to edit the AppleIntelPIIXATA Info.plist under the IOATAFamily.kext, the kext was modified, then the patch was used to apply it to the image.

 

This is what I had to edit :

 

Under ICH8 IDE, add 0x2363197b between the string tags.

 

It should now look like :

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x28508086 0x2363197b</string>

 

Under ICH8 SATA, add 0x28258086 and 0x28208086 between the string tags.

 

And like this :

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x28288086 0x28258086 0x28208086</string>

 

Good luck.
