Im all new to the whole OSX86 Stuff and Installing OSX Distributions on a PC and Im currently desperately trying to Install iAtkos on my PC.
I'm now on Day 3 trying to figure out why the hell it wont work at all.
First my Specs:
- MSI P6N-SLI (nForce 6 650i-SLI Chipset), BIOS: 2.2 (downgraded, should be the best BIOS for this Mainboard)
- Intel Core2Duo [email protected] (stock clocked)
- 4GB DDR2-800 RAM, Corsair
- GeForce 9 9800GT, MSI
- Samsung 501IJ 500GB Hard Drive (SATA)
- 16x DVD Drive from Samsung? (SATA)
- CD/DVD Burner, LG (SATA)
My current Problem is that i dont get pass the pesky "still waiting for root device" Error Screen and I did everything I could possibly imagine.
I already changed all the BIOS Values to the recommended configuration so this probably wont be the Problem.
I think it has something to do with the SATA Drives Im using. But Ive read already that people still get pass that Error with SATA Drives, even with my Mainboard. This one particular User used iDeneb 10.5.4. Is there any differences between iAtkos and iDeneb, especially the one Ive posted?

Tested few things out and made some Screenshots of the Boot Sequence:
SATA Drives set on "RAID" Mode:
SATA Drives set on "IDE" Mode:
I already changed all my SATA Cables and put them into different Ports on the Mainboard with no success.
I really dont know what to do now, Im currently trying to get Kalyway 10.5.2, as my Hardware was listed as compatible with this release. Any hope that I could get iAtkos running?
[edit] Windows VISTA is still Installed on my HDD, could this be a problem to find my HDD? My Plan was to test if the Installation Screen would Pop up, before I reformat everything on the HDD.
Help
tried kalyway now, Ill get a "SAM Multimedia: Read or Write Failed" Error with the selected nForce Kernel and then the "still waiting for root device" error.
Help would be great!
