Unhappy Install 10.5.6 on 790FX/SB600 with Phenom 9830

Ok,I burned iPC 10.5.6 to DVD using ImgBurn.The img boots up under -v maxmem=2048 (cuz I have 4GB DDR 800) and after it tells me that fire wire is active,it saing that it is
"Still waiting for root device"...
Is there anyway to overcome this?

Sounds like your SB600 is not supported by the iPC disc. Odd, because I could have sworn that SBxxx support was added to this distro?
OK, try booting with -v -x -F and see what you get.

Some versions of the SB600 are not supported. As I've posted before, this will be rectified in iPC_PPF3.

@dotzev I knew I remember reading something about SB600 support.

Im not familiar with a great deal of the distros out there but are there any alternative distros we can point him to? Or is he stuck waiting for iPC_PPF3?

I did notice this. Try giving LawlessPPC 10.5.4 a try.

LawlessPPC-10 5 4-Phenom-AMD

This image is a remixed Zephyroth 10.5.2 rev2 release.
If this DVD does not boot on your system then its not meant to be installed on your system!!!

Changes to Zephyroth release are as follows.

*** Chameleon bootloader Ver 1.0.11 (used for DVD booting & installed on drive by default.)
*** Modbin 9.4.0 Kernel SSE3 (installed by default)
*** Alc888 (audio) 3 port, 6 ports + Digital (Fixed)
*** NTFS-3G latest version (solves slow shutdowns)
*** ATI SB600 Issue (solves still waiting for root device when trying to install)
*** ATI HD-3650 Support (QE/CI Enabled) No white menus!!!)

Well I figured I might as well read it as someone took the time to write it.
