I also seem to have the same problem as you guys.
The install went fine but when I boot I get the still waiting for root.

I tried booting with the -f -x and it still doesn't work....

My PC:
HP Pavilion DV9000z

Turion X2 TL-56
NForce 430/410 Sata
Nvidia GeforceGo 7600 256
120 Seagate Sata HDD
IDE dvdrw drive
Broadcom 4312 Wireless.

Ive attached a pic of my -v screen with -f -x bootflags.
