Okay, months ago I tried installing tubgirl, but it timed out on the "creating partition map" part. So now I am trying zephyroth 10.5.1, and I get the same error. I tried zephyroth 10.5.2, but I get "still waiting for root device" errors. I assume this is caused by the latest MeDevil kexts because when I added those kexts to 10.5.1, I got the same error (10.5.1 boots up just fine). Anyway after a good bit of searching (not a lot of people with this problem) I found a possible solution here- http://forum.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t11339-400.html. First I tried setting the type to ShagOS swap on an empty partition, but of course that didn't work. Then I formatted a partition to fat32 and tagged it with ShagOS swap again, and this time zephyroth recognized the fat32 as a hfs+, but I couldn't erase it (it hung on preparing to erase). I also don't have a ahci to disable in my bios. Anyone have any ideas what I can do?
