Any ideas, i also have a problem where it will only boot in AHCI mode, when i switch to native IDE mode i get still waiting for root device problem, i was told by adding AppleIntelPIIXATA.kext it would fix the AHCI mode problem and also let me see my IDE DVD Drive, however after adding it and fixing my permissions, i still cannot boot in IDE mode or see my DVD Drive, please any help?
