Ok, here's what happened when I booted with -v to see what was causing it to freeze.
First, I re-installed and only selected 9.5.0 Voodoo Kernel, and MCP67 Chipset, nothing else. Next, I then rebooted with the "-v" also tried "-v idlehalt=0" , also tried "-v cpus=1", each one resulted the same problem... "waiting for root" and it wouldn't go any farther. So I am taking this error as it's not finding my HDD upon re-boot after installing the OS?? If there are any suggesting as to what to do next, please say, I am open to anything to try. BTW: You guys are awesome in your help and patience! |
Hi. Before you re installed did you reformat the partition to hfs+ journal extended? If not do that

Also check this FAQ at osx86. Has a few solutions for "waiting for root device"

Thanx yazz2020, I will definatley give that second one a try!
As for the first one, I am not sure how to do, since the kext's are all in the Extensions.mkext (which is packed of course, since I used iDeneb 10.5.7) :-) |
Cool. Keep me posted. Hope you get it working

I hate to ask a stupid question at this point, but during the boot (after installation), when Chameleon shows up (Where you select which OS you want), how do I get to a command line to enter in the options I want, ( I know that pressing the down arrow key bings up the sub menu, like for -v and such), but how to get to an actual command line to enter in what you suggested "rd=diskAxB"???
--Hope I explained that correctly |
just type it, it will show up along the bottom, i had this same question when i was new 2 xD
