IPC 10.5.6 "Still Waiting For Root Device"?

Hey, first off I wanta let you know that I have installed OSX86 on my computer before and I used Kalyway Leopard 10.5.2.

Now I'm trying to install IPC Leopard 10.5.6 onto my SATA hardrive.

I booted in verbose mode and this is what I got:



I've tryed everything on the stickyed thread accept the stuff that has to do with IDE drives because the whole point of installing IPC is because I want to get it onto my SATA hardrive.

I read something about installing my chipset onto the Disk Image?

If that is what I needa do then it would be great if someone could explain how to go about doing that.

System Specs:



-Thanks

Via os x -

Code:
hdiutil attach /"Your ISO File" -readwrite

rm -rf /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext

cp -rp /path/to/new/AppleNForceATA.kext /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns

chown -R root:wheel /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext

chmod -R 755 /"Your ISO File"/System/Library/Extensions/IOATAFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleNForceATA.kext
Via windows -

Download transmac and open the iso with it, go to /system/library/extensions and drag & drop your Kext, close and reburn...boot with -f -v, if you have a successful install, copy the kext again ( leo HD /system/library/extensions ) boot with -s and type:

Code:
mount -uw /

cd /system/library/extensions

chmod -R 755 "yourkext.kext"
chown -R root:wheel "yourkext.kext"
reboot
boot with -f

Thank you soooooo much for the reply. I appreciate it.

The part that says Via OSX. Is that what you want me to type before I boot up or what?

and if I use the second one then what kext do you want me to put inside of /system/library/extensions?

You do that from the terminal if you have access to another working install

so do you want me to put the iso onto OSX and do that and then after that put it back on windows and do the other step?

because if I go to the step with windows then Im guessing that you want me to find that folder inside the iso? but the iso does not have those folders in it?

and I still don't know which kext your talking about??

Just do one or the other.

If you're doing it the windows way using you'll have to choose to show hidden files in Transmac to see the full folder structure.

Sorry i didn't say, the applenforceata was an example - you'll have to replace that with the appropriate chipset kext for your hardware.

ohh okay.

Thank you for all the help and the quick replys =))

(staff) members like you is why I love infinitemac

one last very quick thing. when you say to go to system/library/extensions
should the last directory "extensions" be extensions.mkext?

and another yes/no question

Should I just search google for "CPU".mkext ( I'm assuming that by chipset it means CPU?)]

or is that kext on my other hardrive with osx on it??

sorry for the double post but my thread seems to be getting buried and I have a new problem =/

So now I'm going to try using the apple way and this is what I'm getting.




Im on the second step of your Via Mac guide.

Because it's not a directory. It's a single file.

You cannot directly manipulate the filesystem of an ISO the same way that we can with a mounted volume.

Look up how to do that with hdiutil: http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTA...hdiutil.1.html

I believe, as the install instructions for iPC state, the Waiting For Root Device error is caused by your needing to have selected a chipset driver during the install.
