how are you installing? ide or sata or usb dvd drive? what kind of motherboard? how is your hd(s) setup (partitioned)? all of the HD to SL or ? MBR or GUID? some specifics will go a long way in us being able to help you.
"Still Waiting For Root Device" probably means that You don't have your chipset supported. You have to use modified AppleVIAATA.kext or any other which suits your chipset. So, what is your chipset ?
