Waiting root error (Yes, already checked the AHCI)
I am getting back into the osx86 scene after a couple years out. I have tried iBoot with 10.6.0 retail. I get "Still waiting for root device" error after I start the SnowLeopard install (just after swapping the iboot disk).
Details
Dell 540 Studio
Core2Quad 8200
Chipset G43/45
SATA - no switch in bios BUT PC Wizard confirms that SATA AHCI is enabled
Sata DVD Drive (sata port 0)
2 Sata Hard drives
Nvideo 9800GT
Attempts
Tried all the various flags, -v, -x, PCIRootUID=1 with various combos
Tried having DVD drive in sata port 1
Tried cpus=1 -f -x -v at boot, same error
Last try, Cpus=1 -x -v legacy GraphicsEnabler=no PCIRootUID=1 same error
I thought it was due to the AHCI not being enabled, but PC Wizard 2010 says it is enabled on the motherboard.
Any other ideas?
iPC 10.5.6 Lenovo ThinkCentre M41 Pentium D -- VooDoo Kernel 9.5.0 Audigy 2 ZS Works!!. 7600GT EFI String (EFI Studio!).Everything works (ethernet, SATA, USB, IDE drives).
