[cite] pokertamz:[/cite]I Inserted the DVD, and pressed enter to install.

But it just says, "Still waiting for root device"?
...

Thanks
I had "Still waiting for Root device until i swapped my SATA DVD-ROM for a IDE one, Connected to Primary Master,
Disabled the second IDE Controller aswell as the Secondary Device on Primary IDE and I am Using a 500GB SATA HDD,
connected to SATA Master 1. The Other SATA Ports are disabled. Setup is now running, Disk Utility Shows my 500GB
SATA Harddisk and now i'm about to continue installation... We'll see if it works out at the end.

So in fact, the Problem seems to come from the Drive containing the Source Disk, as it says, waiting for root device, imo
the root device during a setup process is the disc drive, therefore the NforceATA Driver seems to cause the problems.

Weird thing tho that the Harddrive works connected to SATA but not the DVD.

Well i anyways prefer swapping of DVD Drives then cloning discs or whatever

Hope this helps


Keep up the great work Zeph!
