Need Help - Fix some drivers.
 

Ok guys, so i was a complete noob couple of weeks ago, but after some reading on theese forums i am understanding all of it.

!!See my specs here!!

DVD IDE Drive: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-108 ATA

Anyways, so far i've tried iDeneb 1.5, SnowOSX 3.5, and iPC 10.5.6

and seriously .. none of them work! they all gives me the "Still waiting for root device" error.

In BIOS i've tried:
Turn on AHCI Mode (No changes)
ACPI Enabled (No changes)
S.M.A.R.T enable (No Changes)
Disable 1394 controller - or some shit. (Since it gave me firewire error.) That fixed it.

I've played so much with it. It won't pass the error!

i've also tried the rd=disk"x" method, and it's disk2. but it just gives me the error again.

Tried to remove my usb external hdd. no changes.

please guys! help me! :( (i've attached two images from my iPC failures. You can see the errors there.)

sahandii,

When installing try using the safe mode option -x and see if that makes a difference.

Also being on an AMD rig myself, the only success I have had with a Snow Leopard install was using the Hazard Snow Leopard Client Server ISO. So give that a shot.

In the install options I chose the following:

Legacy Kernel
Chameleon RC4
PCIfix
USBfix

After installing boot with the following:

-x "Graphics Mode"="1024x768x32" which will help you get past a boot loop that many of us have run into.

thanks man, i'm crrently downloading the Client server version.
I will try to see if it works. ;)

No problem, I will do my best to help you out :)

Also disable your onboard ethernet (may be the cause for the waiting for error...), and sound if you can in the bios. If not make sure your network cable is unplugged from your ethernet port.

allright guys, it gave me the same error. tried to start with -x (didn't work.)
disabled sound & network in BIOS. And tried to unplug cable. (didn't work.)

It's really pissing me off. :(

- Maybe i have to re-plug all the cables in my pc?

- UPDATE:

Seriously, i don't have any ideas anymore. I've tried to take most of the cables out and putted them back on. Didn't work.
Changed the Primary Master to Slave with my cable. Didn't work. Changed it back. Didn't work.
CMOS resetted the whole motherboard. Didn't work. Man, this is killing me! :(
So many other people are running Mac's on their P5K. Why not me? :(

Is your ATI HD3600 built into your mainboard, or is it a seperate PCI card?

I had issues with my built in HD4200 not being supported and had to purchase a EVGA Nvidia Geforce 9500GT 1GB

Check out this link, lists all the cards that are known to work successfully

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...0.6.2#NVIDIA_2

It's not built-in.

I actually have a spare Nvidia 8600 GT, I could try that. ^^_

its not the video card.. its the fact that it doesnt have drivers for your chipset. Like I have an Intel ICH7 so I select Intel ICHx at install. Are you getting this error at startup after the install or before you can even install?

Before man, i can't even get to the install process. /;'
