thesuffering Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 here are a few details about my system first: AMD 64 3400+ (SSE2/SSE3) Uli chipset Asrock 939 Dual Sata2 256mb Geforce 7300 GS 1GB DDR Ram 120gb IDE hd with vista installed 60gb IDE western digital hd (blank) Lite On DVD-RW LG CD-RW I have this install dvd: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=73524 My plan is to install Leopard on the blank 60gb HD, and use the bios to determine which OS to boot. So i boot from the Leopard DVD, and it doesnt even make it to the install screen, instead hanging and displaying "Still waiting for root device" I have tried -v after hitting f8, but no luck. Any ideas what I should try? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83840-new-to-osx86-having-issues/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rackers Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Have you tried pressing f8 and typing vanilla then booting into the install? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83840-new-to-osx86-having-issues/#findComment-595426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas what I should try? if you are getting still waiting for root device you should mess around with the jumper settings on you dvd drive and hdd(if you have 2 dvd-roms unplug one of them and set the jumper to master/single drive) Have you tried pressing f8 and typing vanilla then booting into the install? lol rev 1 doesn't support vanilla Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83840-new-to-osx86-having-issues/#findComment-595455 Share on other sites More sharing options...

profilo Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi, i've the same motherboard osx86 doesn't recognize the secondary IDE channel. So the only SOLUTION is to plug your dvd drive as slave on the primary channel and it's done...! I suggest you the Zephyroth 10.5.1 release Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/83840-new-to-osx86-having-issues/#findComment-598031 Share on other sites More sharing options...
