okcomplete Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hey, i'm having a problem... After I boot form the disk, it goes to the apple loading screen (you know, the grey screen with the apple logo and the swirly loader) and it sits there, I know it can take a long time to load, but i let it sit there for 3 hours and it did nothing.

r00ter Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Okay, when you boot up - in the Darwin Bootloader, hit the key it requests to type in additional startup options. Type in -v and hit enter. This will boot OS X in Verbose mode. From there, tell us what it gets stuck on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacNmusic Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I had this same problem using iDeneb and Leo4All. It keeps getting stuck in verbose mode @ Can't find root device". It even does this when running VMware trying to run it. Could it just be my chipset and OSx are not friendly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
