Problem: Still waiting for root device. - FIXED
Problem: No boot... more info below.
Release: iDeneb 1.4 (10.5.6)
Rig Info:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 940 Processor @ ~3.4GHz
Motherboard: ASUS M3A79-T Deluxe AM2+ 790FX (BIOS: 0803)
Memory: 8GB DDR2-1066 G.Skill
Hard Drive: Seagate Baracuda 7500RPM 320GB (SATA)
Optical Drive: Lite-On DVD +/- R with LightScribe (IDE) **NOW LG SATA (to fix "Still waiting for root device...")
Video Card: ATI 4870 HIS IceQ+ Turbo 1GB
Sound Card: SB X-Fi Fatal1ty Audio [7000]
Monitor: Dell 24" 1080 (S2409W)

Just downloaded the iDeneb 1.4 release - burned the DVD and booted to the gray apple logo with a circle-slash over it. Reboot, hit F8, and used -v... I got the infamous 'Still waiting for root device...'

Changing the storage configuration option didn't help anything, those options are;
- IDE
- RAID
- AHCI

In the OSX86project Wiki ASUS section (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/in...CL_10.5.6#Asus), it shows BIOS version 0602... I just flashed from 0602 to 0804 because I was (and still am) experiencing an issue where it sometimes won't post and requires a hard boot, but then loads and works fine. I'm pretty sure a later BIOS release wouldn't cause any issues, maybe I can flash back to the old 0602 as I saved it before flashing to see if that helps. If anyone has any thorough input or ideas, I'd be very appreciative.
