Lord_Twilight Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ok here is my problem, the disk would boot, I would set "-v -x cpus=1" It might have also been this "-v -f cpus=1" because I tried that too, and the farthest I've gotten is to this screen right after it finished loading kexts. After that it would hang and keep filling with "Still waiting for root device" messages. My system is such: CPU: Q6600 G0 MB: MSI P35 Neo-F Video Card: XFX 8800 GTX Ram: 2GB DDR2 (I'm not sure on the speed of the ram.) Hard Drive 1: 80GB SATA-II drive (For Windows, NTFS, MBR) Hard Drive 2: 160GB SATA drive (For Leopard, No Volume, MBR) Hard Drive 3: 500GB SATA Drive (For Data, NTFS, MBR) Both of my Disk Drives are IDE I tried the disk out on a different computer (An HP Labtop) and it worked up until the last minute of the install when it said that it couldn't be installed on the computer. Also whenever I try to boot into G-part, it loads up to a certain point (Before the main graphical interface starts up but after I can choose what configuration I want. I figured it was important to mention because when a friend tried to boot into Slackware he could not access the disk drive. If there is any more info that you need do not hesitate to ask, I appreciate any help that can be given, as I am very new to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaYnT Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 i have the same issue if i try and use a IDE DVD drive ... if you can, try a SATA drive .. i can get through the setup (depending on what options i select but that's another story) and get booted with the cpus=1 switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
