Yes, actually some of the posts in that forum are mine.
Everyone in that forum seems to have either got it working by simply booting from the DVD or gets a "still waiting for root device" error, but everyone I've seen that gets this error has given up (or gotten it to work and forgot about the forums lol).
I am downloading the newest version of Kalyway and will try that again (have already tried it once, but I didnt check the MD5 so MAYBE it was corrupt, and I will post the results here.
Does anyone actually know what causes the "still waiting for root device error" - I've read a few posts that say it's waiting for the DVD drive to supply more information, which I interpret to mean that it is probably a bad type of disk (but I have also tried 2 of them). So does anyone know what causes that specific error? After I get the USBF lines I can hear the drop stop spinning, and thats when I get the still waiting for root device. I've also read that the sata DVD drive might have something to do with it, but I dont know the steps to take to try to work around that.
All help is greatly appreciated!
