Maker177 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hi, I got the Leapord 10.5.1.7 install ISO and burned it. I booted but it's giving me that stupid "Waiting for root device". So I do have two hard drives, so I only plugged in the one that I wanted to install OSX on, and it still gave me the waiting for root device error! I am completely confused. I looked at your wiki but could not find anything other than making the HDD the main drive. Here are my system specs: Windows XP PRO SP2 Asus M2NPV-VM Motherboard AM2 AMD Athlon 3500 2.2 Ghz EVGA E-GEFORCE 7600GT PCI-E 256MB Mushkin EM2 PC2-5300 1GB 2X512MB 250x1 + 80x1 GB HDD's. Thank you so much. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83249-waiting-for-root-device-please-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
randVar Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I've got the same problem... I got past it by using the Kalyway iso and having nothing but my hd and dvd drive plugged in. But now I'm getting another error. *shrug* rand Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83249-waiting-for-root-device-please-help/#findComment-591368 Share on other sites More sharing options...
