still waiting for boot
I have in my pc a sata hdd a sata dvd and a IDE hdd. I installed leopard 10.5.2 (kalyway) on my sata hdd and worked just fine. I could see all the other drives. When I tried to install snow leopard 10.6.3 (iatkos) on my sata hdd after installation I could not boot "still waiting for boot device". I have installed snow leopard on IDE hdd. It boots ok but I cannot see my dvd drive. I have an ASUS p5k mb (jmicro) I have ACHI in my bios.
What I do wrong? Why 10.5 works on SATA and 10.6 not? I would be ok if at least I could intstall 10.6 to IDE hdd and I could see my dvd drive in snow leopard |

s3 Still waiting
The installation of iATKOS S3 v2 seemed to go smoothly on Fijitsu B Series Lifebook with Pentium M 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of memory. Booting is beyond me. I've tried everything I can find on this site and many others as well as other distros to get past the following:
From path: "uuuid", Waiting for boot volume with UUID D7A3D273-CEDB-CDB1-A2CF-0A50CBACDCAD Waiting on <dict ID="0"><key>IOProverClass</key><string ID="1">IOResources</string><key>IOResourceMatch</key>string ID="2">boot-uuid-media</string></dict> netkas presents fakesmc, a kext which emulates smc device com.apple.AppleFSCompressionY=TypeZlib load successed Still waiting for root device Any and all help will be appreciated. This is my second Hack. I was hoping it would go as well as the first. |
