The infamous waiting for root problem ..

Hi, I'm trying to get iatkos v7 running on my HP Pavilion a6500f without luck so far.

I thought I was getting the error due to my PC only having SATA disks so I got an IDE disk from work to check if that worked. I installed it and it does seem to detect a driver but right after it just shows the waiting for root error..

Attatched are screenshots of my boot screen and the error, I was hoping anyone could give me any ideas on what I might do to resolve this problem?

I've already tried the following:
  • rd=disk0
  • rd=disk0s0
  • platform=x86pc
  • platform=ACPI
  • -v -x -f
  • And mixtures of the above (also tried disk1, disk2 etc)
Anyway, any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit -

Note that my primary HD is now IDE, secondary is SATA and dvd reader is also SATA.
