woy Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 another update: worth mentioning... when booting up the iso.. i get the still waiting for root device... but after a few seconds it boots up anyway... then when i use the mac disc utility my hdd is fully recognized but as an vmware virtual drive... is this what the indepedent / persistent setting does? i guess my problem is that kalyway doesnt recognize my southbridge properly and therefore i am not able to format nor mount my hdd... my next step would be to get a new kext file and patch it into the iso... but how do i do that... and what file do i need? and i use kalyway with IntelSSE3 + V1.1_AMD&SSE2_Patch+fixes by the way...
