Hello,
I am afraid that is not it.
I tried this today. Copied drivers from
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...&mode=threaded
for 10.5.6. Added them to the EFI partition. Recreated the Extensions.mkext in /Volumes/EFI/System/Booter. Removed the AppleVIAATA.kext as suggested.
Got the same error (Still waiting for root device).
Then booted in with the retail DVD (using the boot-132). Fired up terminal.
Copied the given drivers over the IOATAFamily.kext in /System/Library/Extensions, deleted Extensions.mkext, rebooted with -s -v -f. Same error.
I checked the original AppleVIAATA driver. The Info.plist contains ICH-8 support. It also contains some extra strings. In desperation, I copied it back to EFI and the System extensions.
Still the same error.
I liked your response, because you suggested something new. I am afraid that it is not working out. Any other ideas ?
Now I am trying to restore back from the clone.
