Tlime machine Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Booting with rd=disk0s1 give me the apple grey screen with the hold down power button message... Booting without typing rd=disk0s1 and with the iATKOS1.0r2 dvd works... Can someone explain this, cause its weird why only the dvd boot method works... Note: Not typing rd=disk0s1 and when no dvd is inserted it give me the no sign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can someone explain this, cause its weird why only the dvd boot method works... Note: Not typing rd=disk0s1 and when no dvd is inserted it give me the no sign... first of all, this is called a "kernel panic". When describing your problem, you should always use this term because it is widely recognized. whats the "no sign"? try typing "rd=disk0s1 -v". The "-v" tells it to boot in verbose mode which gives debugging info. When it stops outputting new stuff and freezes, take a picture and post it. booting in verbose mode is standard procedure for determining boot problems. EDIT: I will watch this topic and try to help you if I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tlime machine Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 right... testing now The code works with dvd inserted, now testing without it... Note: the no-sign is the :censored2: waiting for root device error --- Edit: Strange... Leopard/iATKOS boots up without the dvd, but with the code, now testing again to confirm results Edit: AGP:not supported 244e Extension "com.apple.driver.AppleHIDKeyboard" has no explicit kernel dependency; using Version 6.0. Still waiting for root device Still waiting for root device ... ... Note: Sometimes I get an successful booting, where by I get the jettisoning kenel linker just after the AppleHIDKeyboard and a few more lines before iATKOS boots --- Waiting for root device error seems to occur when booting with the grey screen with rd=disk0s1, whereby using rd=disk0s1 -v the waiting for root device error rarely occurs --- Can I boot with the code rd=disk0s1 -v but with the graphical boot?

Tlime machine Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I edited com.apple.Boot.plist and added the line rd=disk0s1 -v to the two <string> brackets after the kenel flags line, do you think it will work? (I saved the edited file to my desktop an ready to replace the original if I would work) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socal swimmer Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 that should work. why don't you try it? also, there is a way to add the graphics mode to the com.apple.boot.plist. When you ask a question, ALWAYS post your hardware. What is it? use the search engine in my sig when you need help. it is based on google, but only searches OSx86 sites, and was made by a member of this site. EDIT: here is a link to the search results for your error: http://######.com/osx86search/resul...e&sa=Search the first link looks promising. nforce is a motherboard chipset.

Tlime machine Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 Sorry for the double It seems like the waiting for root device happens after AappleHIDkeyboard... even sometimes in -v mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
