So, I have a "Still waiting root device" before installation. When I want to install hackintosh, I'm inserting DVD with iAtkos v7 to my DVD device, I'm pushing F11 button (to start boot menu) and I'm pushing Enter button to start installation. I see gray background with the Apple logo. Below is "loading circle". A few minutes later, above the logo I see a sign like this (dl.drop box.com/u/528365/Images/imgzw.png).
I'm tried to install Hackintosh in "-v" mode, a few minutes later I have "Still waiting for root device" error.
I changed my DVD devices - no effects.
I changed a bios options - no effects.
I downloaded other version of Hackintosh - no effects.

How can I repair this problem?

------------

I'm going to download Leopard / Snow Leopard in retail version, but I don't have a boot CD for my chipset. And question, somebody have a kext for my chipset? If yes, please make me a boot CD with it.

Maybe nobody don't made a kext for my chipset?

Sorry for my bad English.
