dasepsilon Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 most obviously you are missing a driver for your SATA-controller. find out what board you have and what driver you are missing. and dont expect anyone to help unless you give more information about every bit of your hardware.

thrillhouse Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 try different configurations for you IDE/SATA controllers. If that doesn't help, there are a few different OSx86 versions, some might work, some might not, so look around. You might have more luck with the Kalyway dvd for instance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85315-still-waiting-for-root-device/#findComment-606136 Share on other sites More sharing options...
