OMG! Dude There are so many people that have made it work using only IDE! So just shut da ---- up! For ----s Sake! Just cause your computer can run Hackintoshes doesn't make you a ----ing expert!

Solution
 
I had The same problem and I could finally boot by using an USB external DVD drive. It worked every time for me.

Still waiting for root device - unable to boot with the DVD
 
The solution for an nforce chipset mother board is the following config & settings:

IDE Optical drive, set to Master
Sata HD
while booting, keep punching the f8 key, once you have chosen the optical drive, continue punching f8 till you are asked to enter some command & continue (best hint that you are on the right screen is it'll suggest to type -v & continue.)

On this screen, type the command in the next line & hit enter, you are ready to Roll!
-x -v cpus=1
