Asus K40IN-X1 - Still wating for root device - devfs_kernel-mount: f

Hi,

I'm a newbie and I was trying to install Snow Leopard in my new Asus K40IN-X1 laptop. I downloaded the Asus K50in bootCD v2 and I followed the steps installing from an original Snow Leopard DVD. In the first try I received the "Still waiting for root device" message so I booted the CD with the -x -v parameters and the installation began. According to the installer, the installation was successful. However when the system restarted, the error "devfs_kernel_mount: f " appeared in the screen and the boot process halted. I searched in google and in the forum and I changed the SATA configuration from "Enhanced" to "Compatible" but I'm still stuck in the "Still waiting for root device" error. What's the next step to follow to make a successful installation?

Thanks
