can anybody explain me the instructions of "Stuck "Waiting for root device"" to me more specifically?

Find a known working kext for your specific chipset.(Google is your friend)-----ok, i've got one that worked for me on 10.5.1

hdiutil attach /"Leopard.iso" -readwrite----------do i have to rename the iso to "Leopard.iso"? where should i put it? should it be mounted?

Create a folder named Extensions on your Desktop
Unpack Extensions.mkext from the Leopard.ISO in this folder------is the following command intended to do so?

mkextunpack -v -d /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/System/Library/Extensions.mkext


Remove the MeDevil's kext(AppleNforceATA.kext)
Replace with the one known to work for your chipset
Fix the permissions on your new file-----------again, how can i do that? type the following command in terminal?

type

kextcache -a i386 -K /Volumes/"Leopard.ISO"/mach_kernel -m /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions.mkext /Users/"YOU"/Desktop/Extensions


and place the newly created Extensions.mkext into the ISO and burn it to DVD and try again.


if anyone can help me on this? thank you? thank you~

one key point is that i don't really know how to modify the iso...
